Dance/Theatre

Tigers jumping through flaming hoops, bears walking on hind legs… Traditional circus, as we know it, tries to entertain and amuse by stimulating our senses. Cirkus Cirkör – the latter a play on the French words “cirque” (circus) and “coeur” (heart) – sets out to innovate with a big heart, as seen in their multimedia circus production Limits for this year’s World Cultures Festival – The Nordics.
Today as the European countries are quickly closing their borders to curb the influx of refugees, Cirkus Cirkör perceives their native Sweden and even the USA as an acrobat’s body, which could become more flexible through vigorous training. Be sure not to miss Limits, a creative discourse on the body politic and humanitarian work from a fresh and little-known angle.
