Below Zero SWE

In Praise of Shadows

A raw and poetic circus journey into the untamed beauty of the North.

Fri 7. 11. 19:30 200 — 1780 CZK

Dazzling throws, razor-sharp acrobatics, and striking Nordic aesthetics. Below Zero, the most breathtaking Swedish contemporary circus company, arrives in a co-production with Stockholm City Theatre to present a visually stunning performance celebrating the shadows within us—and around us.

Set in a scenography that evokes landscapes of mountains, oceans, and glaciers, seven performers move through a world of contrasts, accompanied by newly composed music rooted in Nordic folk traditions. Whispering violin melts into pulsing drums and electronic club beats. Haute couture catwalks collide with daring balances and breathtaking flips. Acrobat bodies soar to celestial heights, embodying both the strength and fragility of nature, transforming into crashing waves and swaying treetops through the rhythm of circus. Below Zero is an ode to imperfection, a celebration of raw beauty, and an immersive journey into the wild soul of the North.
