Exhibition | An Acrobatic Journey — In Large Format

Snapshots of the journeys taken by around 20 acrobats through Aarau and its surroundings will be on display. The photographs can be seen at various locations around the city – some prominently displayed, others almost hidden; sometimes small, and occasionally large-scale.

The images displayed at the Rathaus Aarau are the result of a collaboration with the Canton of Aargau's Department of Culture as part of the project «Hallo! Kulturerbe». In these photographs, Compagnie XY is joined by young acrobats from the circus schools LeZartiCirque in Sainte-Croix (VD) and Cirque Intense in Neuenburg am Rhein (Germany). The images document their journeys to various cultural heritage sites throughout Aargau. The images can be viewed and purchased during the opening hours of Rathaus Aarau.

The photographs were taken by geographer and photographer Samuel Buton, who has been documenting the «Les Voyages» project for several years. Some of his photos are also available as a postcard set at Aarau Info and at the Stadtmuseum Aarau.

EXHIBITION at the Rathaus: during the opening hours of the Rathaus
EXHIBITION throughout the city: May 29 – June 22, 2025
