BORDERS

For the 20th anniversary of Cirkus Cirkör's inception, Malmö City Theatre commissioned a new work to celebrate our history of genre-bending, border-blurring artistry.

Contemporary circus is an art form that moves without borders between continents, nationalities, disciplines and conventions. Circus is a performance art – but it can also be a vehicle to tell real stories and amplify real voices when others choose to ignore them.

In Borders, we chose to spotlight the stories and voices of people in flux, risking their lives to traverse dangerous routes in search of safety. Yes, we will celebrate – but not just Cirkör's 20 years – we will celebrate the endurance, passion and hope of humans. Join us on a spectacular journey, with live music, colourful scenery and riotous risks – and try not to look away.

People who risk everything in the search for a better life meet people who have dedicated their entire lives to taking risks and pushing boundaries. In Borders, different kinds of risk-taking meet when circus and migration are woven together.
