Circa Beyond – A fantastic show !

Fredag aften tog jeg med to af mine gode veninder i Teateret, for at se et lidt anderledes show. Et show jeg vil kalde et form for cirkus. Circa – Beyond. Det er en slags cirkus for voksne hvor fortællingen og handlingen er lidt mere skjult og hvor det rækker sig ud over det sædvanlige. Det var en præstation, som bestemt ikke var skuffende – tværtimod. Det var helt fantastisk og næsten uvirkeligt hvad de formåede at gøre. Jeg er sikker på jeg ikke var den eneste med den holdning, fordi da showet var slut stod jeg sammen med resten af publikum op og klappede. De formåede at blande cirkus med teater og humor. De havde ikke brug for klovne, fordi humoren var det igennem hele stykket. Seriøse og useriøse stykker, som alle sammen havde en fin og god forbindelse til hinanden. Jeg er så importeret over alle de mange fantastiske ting de formåede at gøre. Jeg måtte flere gange holde vejret fordi det de gjorde var så “farligt”, spændende og grænseoversridende. De formåede at få det hele til at se så let ud, selvom det i virkeligheden er virkelig svært at gøre. Jeg kan næsten ikke få armene ned over denne forestilling – så fantastiske præstationer, god humor og elegant musik.

Hvis du nogensiden for muligheden for at se et af deres shows (de optræder i 30 lande), så gør det – du vil ikke fortryde !

Circa – Beyond skriver selv på deres hjemmeside: “There is a line between human and animal, between madness and sanity, between logic and dream… We invite you to step over this line… and go Beyond

Beyond is warm, surreal and unexpectedly moving. Blending dynamic circus acts like trapeze and Chinese pole with cheeky feats of strength and multiple bunny heads, set to a bewitching mix of show tunes, ballads and electronica, this creation delights and enchants. 

Beyond is set on multiple stages within stages – small red-curtained worlds that offer a glimpse of this rich and empathetic world. Maybe we are in a cabaret, a zoo, an asylum or a stage. Seven artists have gathered here tonight to express their inner selves and to connect with each other and the audience.

Over the course of Beyond we meet the artists, marvel at their skills, enter their personalities and emerge into a strangely beautiful and curiously tender world.”

Translation: Friday night I went out with two of my good friends in the theater, to see a slightly different show. A show I would call a kind of circus. Circa – Beyond. It is a kind of circus for adults where the story and the action is a little more hidden and where it goes beyond the ordinary. It was a performance that certainly was not disappointing – not a all. It was absolutely fantastic and almost unreal what they managed to do. I’m sure I was not the only one with that opinion, because when the show was over, I stood up with the rest of the audience and applauded. They managed to mix circus with theater and humor. They did not need clowns, because the humor was it through the entire piece in an amazing way. Serious and frivolous pieces, all of which had a fine and good connection to each other. I then impressed with all the many amazing things they managed to do. I had to repeatedly hold my breath because what they did was so “dangerous”, exciting and transboundary. They managed to make it all look so easy, although in reality it is really hard to do. I can barely get my arms down over this show – so amazing performance, good humor and elegant music. 

If you ever get the opportunity to experience one of their shows (the perform in 30 countries), then do it – you definitely won’t regret it !
