In Retro Sport, Cronopia transforms the urban space into a lively and slightly absurd 1980s sports arena.

Dressed in retro sportswear, she combines high-level circus skills with sharp physical comedy and direct audience interaction. What begins as a playful training session gradually escalates into a surprising display of contortion, balance, racket manipulation and acrobatic precision.

Using a fitness ball and tennis rackets as her primary tools, Cronopia pushes flexibility, coordination and endurance to unexpected extremes. The body becomes both athlete and playground, where discipline and comedy exist side by side.

Throughout the performance, the audience is invited to become part of the game – sometimes as spectators, sometimes as participants – creating a shared experience built on rhythm, anticipation and laughter.

Be impressed and entertained as Retro Sport celebrates the joy of movement, the beauty of exertion and the humour in physical challenges – transforming athletic ambition into poetic and playful circus theatre.

Recommended age: For all

Guest considerations: There will be interactions with the audience on a voluntary basis.
