Synopsis: The moving image <-> the body in motion. A one minute trapeze routine is transformed into an elementary stage trick, a music box automaton and a kaleidoscopic carousel. This is where slight-of-hand meets spectacle and circus becomes cinema.
Inhalt: Das bewegte Bild – der bewegte Körper. Eine einminütige Routineübung auf dem Trapez wird umgewandelt in einen elementaren Bühnentrick, eine Musikbox und ein kaleidoskopisches Karussell. Das ist die Grenze, an der zierliche Hände zum Schauspiel werden und Zirkus zum Kino wird.
