Through acrobatics and magic, they find moments of balance, where almost everything is perfect and still. As this moment is quite fragile, it requires concentration but also a little bit of luck. With elegant movements they create installations where the different kind of elements have to interact, keeping the picture from
falling apart.
In the performance of Tvärslöjd the story is not an ordinary story but is open for the children’s interpretation and imagination. Two characters are creating balancing games with old-fashioned everyday objects. They surprise themselves to find various uses of the tools on stage. Where are they? Maybe inside a giant paint bucket? A secret room? Or in a magical forest?
You are good!! Best!”, “You are awesome!”, “You were good at magic!”, “You make cool stuff!”, “It was fun to watch!”
Bredsands Skola, preschool FA, Sundsvall
”A lovely magical new circus performance for young and old. Beautiful, quiet, calm as a meditation. An unexpected and very well thought out circus performance at a graceful pace that provides calm and well-being. Great professional skills and control of bodies and balance. As a yoga class
for all ages”
Katarina Weidhagen, Dieselverkstaden i Sickla
“It was so good so I gaped”
A 7-year-old boy in the audience, Danscentrum, Stockholm
This is the finest children’s show I’ve seen – maybe EVER ?! Anyone who can GO AND SEE! Handsome and magical with HIGH skill level that takes kids most seriously. As the light went down, “Wow!” in the audience, and I could only agree (and wipe a tear from my eye). Thank you Kompani Giraffe for this pearl of pearls. ”
Martina Grimstedt, Dockteatern Tittut
“The children were incredibly inspired by the performance. While waiting for the bus, they started balancing the bedding directly on their heads”
Preschool Åkerbäret, Robertsfors.
“It is almost rude that a performance is categorized as children’s theatre or circus. Imagination is let loose and borders are often broken in such anarchy that it is grown-ups who especially needs these kind of performances in their everyday life.”
