Work in progress presentation from circusnext finalist company Faro Celeste. 

Hack the Circus is a low-tech science-fiction show in which technological devices are made by hand, just as you would make your own vegetable garden.

In a post-apocalyptic future, three women have survived by taking shelter in a dark place filled with electronic materials and plants. They don’t speak the same language, they’re not the same age, they don’t have the same stage experience. It’s an unchosen community, brought together by the need to collect and archive what remains after the catastrophe. In the hackerspace that serves as their home, we witness their daily lives, which revolve around electronic tinkering, invention, caring for their plants, their equipment and themselves. One fine day, a fourth woman arrives and forces them to question their relationship to cohabitation, understanding, memory and forgetting.
