In the year 2008 Rigolo will celebrate its 30th anniversary. The principals Mädir Eugster and Lena Roth (Wattwil), with daughter Lara Jacobs (New York) are gradually working their way up to this important event. They have lots of fun and ideas in the exiting process of tackling a new production.This creative stage shall be characterized less by special topic, but rather by visual expression. Behind this is the realization, that some remarkable numbers had developed out of parts of earlier Rigolo productions, which could easily be integrated in various events. Some good examples: out of the production of Balance, originated the Balance Act, with its 13 palm leave ribs, out of Balance Performance emerged the installation number of Escalier d'Archimedes, whereas out of the Water Act, the beautiful aqua snails evolved, all ready to be developed into a spectacular performance. The idea is, to create more such forceful numbers. Blending together artistically high level acts, produces the Spectacle of Numbers in its still young tradition of the NOUVEAU CIRQUE, to originate from France.The NOUVEAU CIRQUE adopts the concept of the Spectacle of Numbers from the traditional circus, extending and combining it with dance, theatrical genre, as well as modern technology. Magical and lyrical aspects are more important to the NOUVEAU CIRQUE, than any high performance circus acts - the spectator is encouraged to rather dream and be moved. This is the reason, why dramatic advisers, stage directors and choreographers are part of the working team in a NOUVEAU CIRQUE. Creative artists paint stage sets and props. Musicians compose soundtracks for individual numbers as well as for the total Spectacle of Numbers.Rigolo plans to devote himself in the next years to this high level of NOUVEAU CIRQUE. In the anniversary year of 2008 an electrifying spectacle is to be conceived - with exclusive numbers, which will be able to prevail all on their own in the world of circus and variety show, at festivals and festive occasions.In France the NOUVEAU CIRQUE has become a respected institution alongside with theatre and dance, being put on stage primarily in ordinary theatrical premises. In German speaking area the NOUVEAU CIRQUE has unfortunately been ordained the status of a secret tip! It's the intention of Rigolo to spread the name of this marvellous style of entertainment. In 2008 Rigolo's Spectacle of Numbers will go on tour; at first in various places in the Swiss canton St.Gallen. Then Rigolo's NOUVEUA CIRQUE will be presented as an export of Eastern Swiss culture also in foreign countries. The cooperation with Lara Jacobs, who has her own ensemble of dancers in New York, provides great promise.
