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 .
World-renowned acrobats fill the roles in Tilde Björfors ' s production which is a continuation of Borders from 2015 .
