This is Capable as Fuck!

A one hour long experimental acrobatic music performance by and with the artists Jenny Nilsson & Andrea Hilario with, among other things, singing, live looping, aerial acrobatics and a smorgasbord of experiences of being a woman.

Jenny, the musician with circus dreams, Andrea, the circus performer with a longing for music. Both on our way to create a cross-border solo performance…

But why do we feel like we have to do everything ourselves? Why do we have to be so strong and independent all the time?

Capable as Fuck is about two women negotiating norms and gender roles.

It’s about the overwhelming pressure of society on us to be good girls, wives, lovers, friends, mother’s, caretakers, homemakers, peacekeepers and career climbers. To be all that we have to be Capable as Fuck.

Eco village är en livestreamad onlineföreställning om en ekoby: en politisk satir om ett isolerat community av idealister som tycks befinna sig bakom ett mjukt instagramfilter. Här lever invånarna ett liv i samklang med naturen, med tårna i jorden och egenodlad potatis i munnen – det är så det framstår utifrån i alla fall. Hur kan de då vara online dygnet runt? Efterhand synliggörs sprickorna i paradisets trädgård. På vems bekostnad upprätthålls bilden av det perfekta, hållbara samhället? När kulisserna faller ser vi vad som egentligen står på spel.

Produktionen är en samproduktion mellan Bombina Bombast (SE), Sydhavn Teater (DK) och i samarbete med Center for Everything (FI).

LUR (SE/DK/DE) is an almost cult-declared multi-artistic music and performance group that, with its origins in massive electronic live music, creates concert performances where live visuals, costume and spoken word form a unique visual and poetic universe.

This autumn LUR, in collaboration with Karavan in Malmö, is producing the music and circus performance “Moiré”, and takes another step into the contemporary circus scene with a strengthened LUR troupe. It is an independent continuation of the production Distorting Patterns (2018), and a deepening of the theme of patterns that are repeated, broken and reshaped, in us and around us. Read more

Free movement on board takes the audience on a musical, humorous and visual performance in the world of movement. A show about freedom of movement, falling involuntarily, getting up again and taking the opportunity to live while you can! To allow the desire to take over and to dare to lose oneself in something, while it is fragile. The audience is invited to enjoy circus acts such as captivating juggling, breathtaking aerial acrobatics and incomparable tightrope dance accompanied by seductive live music. A poetic performance where we let the comedy burst through with playful craziness.

The performance takes place on the Circus Ship Johanne and is produced by Spinning Compass Performance. Read more

A contemporary circus performance, produced by Karavan, where the mental consequences of isolation are tested against the solidarity of the collective. A performance with newly composed music and innovative circus. A tribute to both one’s own imagination and the joint organization required to make a home or a community work. We want to investigate questions around loneliness, solidarity, imagination, civil courage, egoism and humanity. With circus and music, we will take the audience into the small things and on winding passages out into the big. Read more

From this rich Nordic mythology full of tales from the sea, Nycircus på Nordisk Vand finds its visual and musical inspiration, and introduces it in a modern and relevant context. Nycircus på Nordisk vand is a social circus experiment that takes place in a near and imaginary future. Here, politics and society have developed in an extremely conservative direction, with no room for dreamers and artists. A group of circus performers (a boatload of weirdos and clowns) refuse to take part in that reality! They therefore sail around in international waters free from national restrictions. Here they can develop their art and their own little community – but what madness does isolation on the water bring with it?

The performance was developed by the Danish Dynamo Workspace (DK) and Spinning Compass Performance (SE). Read more

Join us in our magical underwater world! A unique meeting between the wayward music group Cure-a-Phobia and the experimental dance duo Versus Operandi. At the bottom of the sea, among the debris, treasures and ugly fish, we are led astray through freezing cold currents and terrifying deep sea reefs. With our heads just above the surface, we make our way through treacherous waters to be lulled to rest by billowing seaweed in a safe forest of furniture and tranquilizers.
