All Genius All Idiot

Svalbard Company, Sweden

Svalbard Company, Sweden

There is a fine line between genius and madness. The Swedish Svalbard Company walk this line with great panache. Their rhapsodic performance celebrates the chaotic, eccentric, and ingenious in the absurdities of everyday life. They probe the boundaries between human and animal, civilization and wilderness, men and women, reality and fantasy. The four exceptional acrobats mix elements of circus, dance, slapstick, and music with a little bit of glitter and a large dose of anarchy. From balancing acts at staggering heights to acrobatic feats of strength on the ground, these artists can do it all. They also provide their own bizarre yet hauntingly beautiful soundtrack on a wide range of instruments. This dazzling, extravagant work of art juggles the big questions of life to create a surreal gem of a show.
