A boundary-crossing of body, courage, and poetic force: FORADADA at TOLLHAUS Karlsruhe
With FORADADA, África Llorens / Cie Moll del’Os presents a piece on stage that transforms personal experience, artistic precision, and social friction into a compelling performance. On Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 21:00, the work can be experienced in the ATOLL environment at TOLLHAUS Karlsruhe – a 50-minute stage experience in English, recommended for ages 10 and up. At the center lies the question of identity, of attributions, and of the right to simply be.

Between Myth and the Present
The narrative of the Roca Foradada in Montserrat gives the evening its mysterious depth. From this legend arises a theatrical imagery that connects body, baskets, acrobatics, and skin into a poetic alliance of resistance. The piece navigates through inner prisons and transforms vulnerability into presence. Thus, a staging is created that does not lecture loudly but speaks with physical immediacy.

A Body as a Stage of Questions
Àfrica Llorens articulates the essence of the evening herself: since childhood, the question of man or woman has repeatedly arisen, without a simple answer. Exactly from this, FORADADA derives its tension. The performance addresses gender, attribution, and self-determination using the language of circus and contemporary performance art. Partial nudity is noted as a content warning and emphasizes the immediacy of the stage experience.

Strong Signature in the Festival Frame
As part of the ATOLL Festival 2026, the evening fits into a program that brings together contemporary circus, performing arts, and new forms of storytelling. TOLLHAUS Karlsruhe sees itself as a socio-cultural house with a clear stance, diverse programming, and a space for artistic boundary crossings. It is precisely there that FORADADA unfolds its impact particularly intensely. ([tollhaus.de](https://www.tollhaus.de/))
Conclusion
FORADADA promises an evening of rare intimacy: a piece about identity, corporeality, and resistance that goes under your skin with poetic power and acrobatic precision. Those who want to experience contemporary circus not only visually but physically should witness this performance live.
