Hector - the Bengal tiger
Mechanical tiger
Hector (or Zora to some) is once again attempting his most daring feat. Can this tiger still perform his act after all these years? Together with his companion, the animal trainer, he rises to the challenge.
Will he once again defy the flames and leave the audience in awe?
Come and see, ladies and gentlemen…
A display of pure willpower and heroism, presented in a poetic and striking performance that leaves no one untouched.
“The audience watches in silence as an old circus ring comes back to life — both charged and fragile at the same time.”
A Poetic Scene from a Vanished Circus Ring
Hector (or Zora to some), the Bengal tiger, is a visual mechanical installation in which a forgotten circus world is brought back to life.
Not as spectacle, but as a quiet reenactment of a lost act: a tiger, an animal trainer, and a ring where everything revolves around precision, tension, and anticipation.
What was once a certain performance becomes a fragile moment between memory and repetition.
Tension all around
The presence of Hector and the animal trainer evokes a rhythm that feels familiar, yet never quite the same. The fire, the concentration, and the interaction create a charged tension that slowly builds and then releases.
