Audience

In a tender, whimsical and enchanting universe, Knitting Peace weaves a web of acrobatic prowess.

With an aesthetic that combines extraordinary performance and the poetry of the strange, they alternate between balancing, juggling, trapeze and acrobatics of all kinds, through an aerial net of chrysalises and cocoons. Bringing together top-flight performers from all over the world, the Cirkus Cirkör company embodies the melting pot of cultures and disciplines, exemplifying a rich melting pot of openness and sharing.

A utopian circus in which artists and audiences have the ability to knit peace together.

Founded in 1995, Cirkus Cirkör is Northern Europe’s largest contemporary circus company.
