We have taken the first step to create the next performance with the Pendulum Play concept.
“A laboratory of juggling, aerial acrobatics and music in a beautiful blend. What we hear is what we see: The movement of the lights shape suggestive soundscapes, and guides us into a visual world where the hypnotic experience unfolds.”
The Berlin based musician and composer Lukas Streich has joined the project with his spellbinding sounds. An exciting collaboration that has finally come true after many years of planning!
Frida Evelina Persson is the most recent artist to jump on board. She is bringing an impressive skillset as an Aerial acrobat, contributing also with her knowledge from extensive touring in traditional circus.
Anton Graaf stepped into the project as well, with all of his experience from a long career both on and around the stage in international circus and theatre. Such a jackpot to have him on the team!
Two intensive weeks in the studio resulted in a 40 minute foundation for the new show PLAYTIME. We are now looking for more support to finalize the show and bring it to premiere. A big thank you to Region Gävleborg, Gävle Kommun and ABF Gästrikebygden for making this research period possible.
