Review: Cirque du Soleil, it’s not. Cirkus Cirkör is less about spectacle and more about mission.
Sweden’s Cirkus Cirkor performs “Limits.” By Nelson Pressley Nelson Pressley Theater critic Email Bio Follow Theater critic March 7 at 2:29 PM Sweden’s Cirkus Cirkor has arrived in Washington with an agenda to soften hearts about strict border policies, and occasionally this mission leads to fascinating art.
For Bjorfors, though, the human proportion underlines the bald political point: Catch people who are falling. When lives get flipped, lend a hand. At some point, the act inevitably becomes about how many clubs a juggler can keep aloft and how daring it looks when Oscar Karlsson and Nilas Kronlid fling each other into the air from a teeterboard. The small scale mitigates the daredevil quality, but on the other hand, Bjorfors sometimes makes a virtue of the unvarnished basics. Saara Ahola offers a tutorial in balance and trust as one of the men holds her overhead and catches her as she flips.
