Yaya the beginning, and the beautyful thing is that everything always has a beginning and if the beginning never ends than ther exists never an end, especially when the end is in the beginning…  

mmhh, where and how  did actually began everything??  

Possibly it started with the culture caravan, even if this also was just a mile stone in the history, and ideas and things started earlier..

But because Tobi and me wanted to start a culture caravan and because they needed poeple for that, they made a big thing out of it in the interenet and  through this i  got to know Heike and Felix.

In the beginning the caravan was quite funny but also really excorsting because we just had two buses which were actually Annes and my homes, but where we lived all togehter in..But there we started to do spectacs on the street..

And after this caravan summer , Felix got an offer from the youthhouse in Stuttgard to create a circus for children and we had another beautyful summer in these Stuttgard( you wont believe it) with more than 10 Circus projects which got us totally into the circus movements.. In this time i lost all motivation to go to the unversity, even if my last tests just started( or maybe this was also why) and i decided to quit the university.  

I was really afraid to end up like all the other teachers and to let all my dreams go after the normal time as an rebellion against all what i coudn´t support, so i was more than happy about this decision, and didnt recret it one second..

So it happened that i sit one rainy day in my truck with Heike and Felix and we start to catch our dreams and bring it together and into words.

In the end everything sounded totally naive, but more than beautyful, full of adventure and lust of life, and we decided seriuos to create a horsewagoncircus, where we could fulfill all our needs and where we had the possibility to live our lifes like we wanted to.

We imagined to travel from village to village with the horses pulling the wagons, to do streetperformanes, fire shows, and all other kind of political street-theatre, we imagined a spectac in the forest between the wagons where we invited all the poeple to be part of the magic of life,to get the air in vibrations, to send the children on the path of lust of adventure and to put the fire again in the hearts of the grown ups.  

We wanted to show everyone that all is possible, when you  just believe in it- 

 And the importants thing in all of this was , to create a family, to find poeple who want to live together, who want to grow beside each other, a community who is willing to find solutions for the problems we would have together, rather than to fight about everything all the time, and to never give up to believe that everything is possible, when we want to make it possible.  

We wanted to find a farm where we could live all together, something like a base, where we all could feel at home, and where we could live from all kinds of theatre actions and puppet theatre, street circus with the horses and all what we have been thinking of and where we wanted to start to feed us from what we were planting and what the animals were giving to us.

But where we, because there would be many of us, all had the freedom to go for a while, whenever this was needed, to stay open for other places, lifes and situations and that it always is possible to go as one group with the horses and the wagons to live circus in the summer and travel around where the horses want to pull us to, where we could discover from forest to forest and make our lifes unsecure..  

yepp. this was the beginning.

To live our dreams and not to do what we “actually” don´t want to..
