Cirkus Cirkör is a circus company from Sweden who combine technical, acrobatic brilliance with some of the most imaginative, absorbing storytelling on the circus scene today. Their show Inside Out leads you into the fantastical backstage world of a circus company - with all its bizarre, eccentric, otherworldly characters.
It’s full of playful illusion, slight-of-hand magic tricks and trapeze as well as knife-edge balancing acts that keep the audience in a state of awe and amazement. This show also features the best act of juggling we have ever seen (if you think juggling is throwing three balls in the air think again). And their fantastic on-stage live band (Irya’s Playground) provides an atmospheric soundtrack.
But there’s also something else that makes this show so special. As the narrative draws you gently into a backstage world; without being conscious of it happening, you realise you’ve completely let yourself go, and have been swept out of the realms of reality into a weird and wonderful dream world - where magic really happens. It is like being thrown back into childhood where real life and fantasy are so marvellously blurred.
Audiences leave this show younger than they went in, emotionally exhilarated and happy to have witnessed such beautiful theatre. A couple of staff at the Centre went to see the production when it was in London last year and for the last few months have done nothing but tell us how amazing it is.
