Phågel - The Best Cat and Bird Show Ever!
Two girls - a cat and a bird. With only one fish to eat - and a shared desire to break the static forms of balance
acrobatics.
Phågel is based on the determination of two independent girls to do their own thing. Their performance
is built around physical expression in the form of tightrope walking, handstands and floor acrobatics.
Technical excellency in the art of circus is combined with precisely constructed choreography
and an attitude that defies expectations and traditional patterns.
Phågel is inspired by Peanutbutter & Jeremy's Best Book Ever, a naïvistic graphic novel for adults by the American
indie artist James Kochalka.

Slapstick Sonata
Slapstick Sonata is a performance bringing together Mozart's sonatas with slapstick comedy from silent film era creating a very literal combination of high art and popular culture. Visual poetry meets absurd physical comedy and contemporary circus expression.
Aerial acrobatics, tumbling, clown antics, dance, live music and theatrical elements fuse into a free-flowing stream of references ranging from the classical opera to the silent film comedies.
