In the artist's words:

Ponyclub stands for gentle shaking and loud listening

Yolande Sommer and Julia Berger founded Ponyclub at the beginning of 2023.

The company is a utopia of social change: it questions images of performance, work, self-care and professionalism. A plan to strengthen the gaps and an invitation to make mistakes. Ponyclub stands for a gentle wake-up call and loud listening.

After a first collaboration of the production "3xEva" (2021 JungeWilde program of the CircusDanceFestival), Julia and Yolande discover a common desire for a scenic language that unites a political, entertaining and cross-genre circus. Between contemporary developments and the low-threshold origins of circus, they are looking for new ways to develop readable pieces.

They see their different (educational) backgrounds as an opportunity. Their paths cross where circus and theater meet at eye level and form a synergetic view of the narrative potential of the circus of tomorrow. The two are also united by their love of their circus discipline, vertical rope. The company chooses its (circus) means of realization on a project-specific basis and is complemented by collaborations with other performers and artists.

In addition to their artistic work, Julia and Yolande are co-founders of the Initiative feminischer Circus (Feminine Circus Initiative) and dedicate their company to its mission statement.
