We are teaming up with a new maker!
From April 2025, we are joining forces with Simon Granit Ossoinak and his latest creation ‘Ukemi: The Art of Falling’.
Simon Granit Ossoinak is a versatile artist from Stockholm who has been based in Rotterdam since graduating from Codarts Circus Arts. With his performance ‘The Odd Ones’ he toured the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, surprising audiences with amazing acrobatics.
With ‘Ukemi’ Simon is developing into a director and fusing two passions, circus and parkour!
The worlds of parkour and circus meet in ‘Ukemi: The Art of Falling,’ an outdoor performance that focuses on risk-taking. On a mobile parkour installation, Simon Granit Ossoinak and 3 acrobats show the full process of risk-taking: from the careful preparation, to the fall. From blind faith to success! Or maybe the fall was as much a success as the trick that succeeded?
Ukemi premieres during Rotterdam Circusstad.
