PIPPI at the CIRCUS

Pippi as you've never seen her in a newly written, sensational circus musical. Welcome to experience a gravity-defying whirlwind without safety nets, starring a dizzying ensemble and colorful orchestra. Join in!

Together Björn Ulvaeus, Maria Blom and Tilde Björfors have written the script to Pippi at the Circus, which is based on Astrid Lindgren's story about when Pippi, Tommy, and Annika went to the circus and met the circus princess Miss Carmencita, the line dancer Elvira and the world's strongest man Strong Man Adolf. Sweden's most famous, bravest, strongest and kindest literary icon turns the circus into more circus than the circus itself in Magdalena Åbergs extravagant scenography and costume.

“Thrilling circus acts and captivating music. Pippi at the Circus dazzles with an imaginative, one-of-a-kind show packed with joy and surprise.” Karin Helander, Svenska Dagbladet

Tilde Björfors, the Swedish queen of contemporary circus and artistic director of Cirkus Cirkör, brings in a special sensitivity for the environment, people and atmosphere of the circus.” Margareta Sörensson, Expressen

“Towards the end, the euphoria sis total. The audience jumps in the bench rows.” Jan-Olov Andersson, Aftonbladet
