“Glass is a good way of showing the contrast between hard and fragile, as when the body encounters the 5.5-metre-tall steel fork.”Īlexander Weibel Weibel recommends the audience to visit both performances as they will be very different. Different types of glass are used on stage, and machine meets the physical body in the form of a circus crane that enable the artists to fly. Glass is suitable for all ages, but it is more aesthetic and pared down.
Threads is a lighthearted, fun production. For example, we show footage of the We Knit for Peace in connection with Knitting Peace.” “Images are important as we have no other scenery on stage.
Video installations by Johannes Ferm Vinkler in combination with the music create a special ambience. It may not be obvious, but it is the idea behind the work.” People’s actions today can lead to consequences later in life. Some are straightforward and know what they want, others tend to complicate and make a mess of everything. Threads and yarn can be used to clearly show how people deal with life and themselves. “We will use yarn as a metaphor, and we will be moving in a similar setting while the aesthetic expression is new and different,” says Alexander Weibel Weibel. Threads has some similarities with Cirkör’s internationally acclaimed Knitting Peace from 2013. “We are so pleased with this collaboration, meeting across boundaries and disciplines is always incredibly exciting.”
Concept and direction by Alexander Weibel Weibel and Tilde Björfors. This is Cikus Cirkör’s Baltic Sea Festival debut, and it is the first time the work exclusively with art music. Works by nine contemporary composers from Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine and Russia feature in the contemporary circus productions Threads and Glass that will be performed during the Baltic Sea Festival family day.
