A circus solo that transforms identity in motion
With DELUSIONAL, Brazil: “I Killed a Man” an extraordinary stage experience comes to the Stadttheater Fürth on April 18, 2026: a contemporary circus solo that combines acrobatics, dance, light, and music into an intense theater atmosphere. Diana Salles narrates an intimate journey of transition, poetically condensed in images of death, rebirth, and self-becoming.
Between vertical rope and inner breach
Dizzying twists on the vertical rope, ecstatic movements, and precisely timed costume changes shape a production that understands the body as a narrative instrument. The dramaturgy does not follow a linear realism but an emotional logic: transformation becomes visible, vulnerability turns into strength, and every gesture carries meaning.
A poetic stage design of light, sound, and presence
The production relies on a dense audiovisual language. Light design and music carry the solo just as much as the physical virtuosity. This creates an atmospheric evening that seeks closeness rather than maintaining distance. The audience experiences not just acrobatics but a sensitive reflection on identity, attribution, and the right to redefine oneself.
A narrative that transcends the personal
DELUSIONAL touches because the piece intertwines the private with the societal. The transitions between pain and beauty, between loss and liberation, unfold a remarkable emotional force. Exactly therein lies the strength of this work: it makes individual experiences visible while also opening the view for universal questions about change, courage, and self-acceptance.
An evening for theater audiences with an eye for boundary crossings
Those who appreciate contemporary circus, performative body art, and narrative precision will find here a dense, award-winning stage experience. The Stadttheater Fürth provides the perfect setting for this: a venue that combines artistic intensity, clear spaces, and attentive audience reaction. An evening that touches, challenges, and resonates long after.
