“Zirkus is a 19-man swing and dance orchestra and arts collective reviving musical genres and performance types from a forgotten age. The ambition for Zirkus is to let the audience meet an orchestra that has just arrived from the 19th century. Zirkus takes the audience back a hundred years with its mix of roaring swing music, cabaret, verfremdung and storytelling. The original and newly written music is at the center of Zirkus’ performances, and the lyrics and stories evolve around the rules, norms and dogmas of society – now and then – and challenges the audience to look at the world through new glasses.”
