The Vessel - Circus performance

Step aboard as the utopian and tight-knit trio The Vessel leaves the dock. Guided by an intense longing to create together, a journey to other dimensions is formed where gravity ceases, new beings arise and time stands still. The Vessel is a hot circus performance filled with acrobatics, magic, juggling and live music, for the whole family.
 

Duration: 45 minutes
Target group: Family show. Suitable for children aged 6 and over.
 

Join us on a fantasy journey with The Vessel! A circus performance about how - and with what content - we fill our lives. The Vessel refers to the wisdom of Shaykh Abdullah Adhami: Every vessel, every container, will only pour out what is in it … The performance uses the container/content analogy as the starting point for a journey of imagination. What happens to a familiar room - a gymnasium, a library, an auditorium, a courtyard - if it is bathed in blue light, resounds with deep harmonic notes and is taken over by three acrobats? What have we just seen and what do we fill our lives with every day? The Vessel also refers to the English word for ship and brings together artists from Canada, Denmark and Sweden. With Chinese pole, cyr wheel, slack line, juggling and acrobatics, a collective expression takes shape. Movement and live music are fused together. Welcome aboard.
