Automata akrobata

Automata akrobata is a performance where craft traditions and the circus's physical intelligence meet the power of mechanics - aiming to inspire young people to create within both craftsmanship and circus arts.

A medieval lathe transforms into a universe of sound, light, and constantly moving mechanical sculptures. Gears, levers, and unexpected movements encounter acrobatics and humor, while handcrafted elements blend with flying confetti. The circus lathe - the performance's mechanical helper - drives the jump rope while handles are being made at the same time, and takes on the heavy lifting so the artists can focus on other things.

Performers: Jenny Soddu, Camilla Rud, and Hedvig Flärdh. Set design: Raleigh and Oliver Klotzek, Per Helldorff, Wild Crafted Home. Set design and artistic direction: Jonathan Malm. Produced by Arenaslöjd.
