Welcome to a folk festival… but one that suddenly goes up in the air. Literally! Cirqus Hialøs mixes live music, dance, and contemporary circus into a wild, energetic experience.
On stage are eight artists. Musicians play violin, double bass, and vocals, supplemented by electronic sounds. Four circus artists go into the air with trapeze, ropes, and even… their hair. Expect no polite folklore, but a powerful mix of old and new.
The music is inspired by Scandinavian folk music, but sounds surprisingly fresh. So expect no polite folklore, but a powerful mix of old and new that continues to resonate. The acrobatics are powerful, sometimes exciting, sometimes almost magical. Together they melt into a performance that lets you watch, listen, and empathize.
Cirqus Hialøs is not a classic circus, but a unique experience for those who feel like something else, something that you experience together and that sticks.
