La Vieille Souche
Ticket prices
buy a tree for € 10
Trebor, a tree in a pot, and Robert, an acrodancer, meet in a distant dystopian future. In an optimistic and highly physical dialogue, they together pay homage to life in all its absurdity. Does Trebor find a permanent place thanks to Robert and the audience in Leuven?
Samuel Rhyner is a Swiss circus artist, graduated from the Academy for Circus and Performance Art in Tilburg (NL) in 2020. Interested in movement in general, but thirsty for knowledge, he decided to learn piano, trumpet, electronic music composition, and Cyr Wheel alongside his main disciplines: acrodance and partnering.

CIRKL is committed to a sustainable future! For La Vieille Souche you don't buy a ticket but a tree. Together with Cirkus in Beweging and Plan T from Mijnleuven, we hope to create a whole forest full of CIRKLtrees growing.
