The theme is hugs, happiness and bikes and the tour has a feeling of when the circus came to the village in the old days.
Choreography: Rebecka Nord
Directing: Nalle P. Laanela
Composition: Anna Cederquist
Musicians: Anna Cederquist & Martin Harborg from SKROT.
Funded by: The Region of Skåne, The arts council and Musikverket.

-DET FÅR BÄRA ELLER BRISTA-
Det får bära eller brista is a performance that illustrates women’s history with acrobatics and contemporary folk music. On stage, human pyramids and impressive acrobatic choreographs are built in the innovative spirit of new circus.
The research had its focus on Nordic women’s physical tasks during the last hundred years. It originates from interviews with the artists mothers, grandmothers and great grand mothers.

- DJELIYA - an acrobatic & musical tale -
Because of an evil spell, young hero Maïs needs to escape from her home village and forced to go on an adventurous quest where she will discover friendship, courage and cooperation. Backed by the mystical, musical Griot and his knowledge, she enters an enchanted world where bodies are trees to climb, oceans to dive in and mountains to cross. With two joyful companions met en route, she will reach a magic fruit she needs in order to save her village.
Djeliya, a subtle piece wrapped in live music of an African Harp called Kora, tackles the humanity lying within all of us and places its focus on optimism and open-mindedness. Through theatre and partner acrobatics, it tells a story about overcoming fears and obstacles and about the power of collaboration and friendship: A quirky piece without props, lights nor set to enchant children and adults alike.

Loneliness and happiness, bagladies and runaway brides, spell-binding moments mixed with comedy and the ordinary – a reflection on who we are and how we connect with others, viewed through the eyes of a woman who observes, makes friends, confronts or tries to ignore the people who pass… occasionally turning upside down to see if the world looks better from that angle.

- LAS ERRANTES -
In 2013 the partner acrobatics duo Las Errantes, consisting of Rebecka Nord and Catalina Castellano, worked in Chile, Belgium and Sweden to create a circus act. This was a cultural exchange project between Chile and Belgium - and the two artists whose greatest source of inspiration is the role of women in modern society, women’s strength and what they’re supposed to carry…
