A queen—shaky, insecure, arrogant, and stylish.
A pop star dressed in hugs. Vulnerable and glamorous.
An endearing and comical tightrope walker. A singer with a rebellious tone.
A tragedy in neon and confetti.
MORE IS MORE is an eclectic maxi-combo. A queen balances—both literally and figuratively—between self-protection and self-revelation. It’s an over-the-top response to the superficiality of the world, while also asking essential questions about identity, self-image, and authenticity. Who are we, really, beneath the layers of glitter and illusion?
This is an ode to imperfection and authenticity, wrapped in a unique, extravagant circus form.
Step into the world of Sien Van Acker, where tightrope walking is guided by playfulness and imagination, the clown brings a touch of chaos, and extravagance is the norm. Her performances blend technical precision, theatrical flair, and a generous dose of humor.
With a background from the Academy for Circus and Performance Art (Tilburg) and Ésacto’Lido (Toulouse), she dove deep into her discipline and developed a distinctive style—a fusion of tightrope walking, clownish expression, and self-designed costumes that bring her characters to life. She flirts with kitsch, subverts expectations, and invites the audience into a universe where vulnerability and bravado walk hand in hand.
Her mission? To reinvent the art of classic tightrope dancing—to make audiences laugh, gasp, and feel moved—while scattering a sparkling shower of glitter across the stage.
