With children of their own, six female partner acrobats explore the limits between lifting and collapsing. Weight and lightness. Strength and fragility. Joy and sorrow.
Det får bära eller brista is a performance that illustrates women’s history with acrobatics and contemporary folk music. On stage, human pyramids and impressive acrobatic choreographies are built in new circus’ innovative spirit.
Circus By Me offers contemporary circus with acrobatics as a specialty, crossing various art forms such as contact improvisation, modern dance, ceramics and theater. It employs culture as a means for building a better world.Drawing from the theme of carrying and physical tasks, Det får bära eller brista uses partner acrobatics as a tool of expression. On stage the team members work in duos, trios, and as a collective with static and dynamic acrobatics.
