Jarmila Lee-Lou's “Seide&Stahl” is dedicated to the disciplinary and gender-specific contradictions of aerial artistry and weight training as a kind of artistic research process.


Inspired by feminist criticism of body norms as well as the self- and external exploitation of FLINTA* bodies (women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans and agender), the circus artist shows exploratory and interventionist social and artistic paradoxes of the strong female* body and its aesthetic absence. She confronts her audience with humor and at the same time expressive performance and navigates through snapshots of a body that is read as female*.

Jarmila Lee-Lou (she/her) is a circus performer, dance teacher and curator. Their diverse activities are united by the interest in creating a contemporary and female* circus practice that redefines content, aesthetics and working conditions. Since her training at the Etage Berlin and the Berlin University of the Arts, she has been performing on international stages. She is co-founder of the Kunstkartell e. V. and the Feminist Circus Initiative.
