Circus Director & Producer
About David Campion
In 2017, David Campion dismantled the big top, not physically, but conceptually, replacing sawdust and spotlights with modular sound-responsive rigging and live generative projections during 'Echo Chamber', a touring production that redefined aerial choreography as real-time dialogue between performer and algorithm. He pioneered the 'Circus Feedback Loop': a rehearsal methodology where motion-capture data from acrobats informs compositional decisions by composers and lighting designers mid-process, collapsing traditional departmental silos. His work resists spectacle-for-spectacle’s-sake; instead, he treats risk not as theatrical device but as ethical framework, requiring performers to co-author safety protocols and narrative arcs. Based in Lisbon but rooted in collaborations with Romani wire-walkers in Transylvania and digital puppeteers in Medellín, Campion’s productions never cite tradition as homage, they interrogate it, splice it with glitch aesthetics, and reroute its lineage through decolonial pedagogy and neurodiverse casting mandates.
