Circus Movements
Lukas Berger, Mário Gajo de Carvalho / Austria, Ethiopia, Germany, Portugal / 2019 / 15 min / Colour
On a green Ethiopian plateau, four young circus performers defy gravity. Among them is Beniyam, who at five years of age is already a formidable acrobat. The intertwining of their bodies illuminates the landscapes and the life that flows between city and countryside, surrounded by the still immensity of the mountain.
