About
A family circus show by Swedish company Below Zero. Seven acrobats move across a set that suggests mountains, waves and a glacier, while two musicians play newly written folk music live, from whispering fiddles to drums and club beats. Expect risky balancing acts, flips, a haute couture catwalk and bodies thrown meters into the air. It is told through bodies and music rather than words, so kids need no Swedish.
