Breakneck stunts in a fascinating,
beautiful and melancholic
contemporary circus production.
Daring feats challenge gravity when performers
spin through the air before landing on thin
planks, or safely in the arms of other acrobats.
The Swedish troupe stretches the limitations of
what a contemporary circus can be, and what
a person is capable of.
The production is not only about strength,
precision and agility, but also trust and unity.
Completely without a safety-net everyone is
dependent on each other in order to succeed
and to avoid falling. In classic Cirkus Cirkör
manner, limitations of perspective are overturned. With energy and focus on what is possible
a world of fleeing, migration and new frontiers is
balanced against the artists' individual limits in
terms of risk, pain, the limitations of the group
and of the body. Stepping over boundaries is
hard without moments of chaos and disorder,
but the state of today's world demands new
approaches.
