The Full Story

What means ALUD?

ALUD is a word from Spanish language, which translates as Avalanche, but also, when said out loud, it's pronounced the same as ''to alude'', to imply. These two meanings are ever present and intertwined in our work; we always want to bring to the stage a lof of energy, filling the space in unexpected turns and forms, ever growing from the movements before. However, we also want that in that unpredictability, you can still feel something, see something, think something, that is concrete. Maybe not developed in a linear way, but rather, as you gain new insights in what you already knew.

This is one of our artistic goals, that began in 2022 with a long research into aerial straps from the perspective of dance, theatre and partner acrobatics. And now, together with different partners and other supporters, We are bringing the results of our work.

Mission

We are company ALUD, and we believe that there's a need for a richer aerial circus, that is technically strong, as well as more creative and concrete in their dramaturgy and overall artistic language. We are working towards that by developing a new movement language that learns from various circus specialities as much as from dance and theatre.

Vision

We, company ALUD, don't aim to change the world.  Through a grounded yet playful mindset, we aim to change perceptions.

About social themes, about what is possible to do with circus as an art form,

and about the possibilities of bringing dance and theatre into aerial circus.
