About
Sklenka Melta is contemporary circus built around blown glass. Four performers move through a stage of fragile bowls, tubes, and sculptural forms, with choreography that balances, handles, and deliberately breaks them. Created by Vivian Friedrich and her company DiffractionArt, the piece leans closer to performance art than acrobatics, exploring control and letting go. It's a rare family show that doesn't feel like a chore for grown-ups, closer in mood to a Mercat date night than a kids' show. Almost wordless and visually driven throughout.
