In Praise of Shadows – Below Zero (SWE)

In-Praise-of-Shadows-800x450.jpg

Below Zero gives In Praise of Shadows, in co-production with the Stockholms City Theatre. Seven acrobats give a tribute to the grandeur of Nordic nature and emphasize the aesthetic found in shadows and in that, which is not perfect, yet remarkably beautiful.

With the raw power of circus, unexpected humor, a stunning scenography and an original folk music score, the performance creates a landscape of glaciers, northern lights, mountains, and lakes. A close dialogue between performers and the audience about the euphoria of nature, and the essential importance of supporting one another.
