This contemporary circus show from the acclaimed Catalonian company Animal Religion takes place in a circular space bordered by a glowing ribbon of light. Children are invited to join a journey full of acrobatics, humour, play, light and music.

About Animal Religion
Animal Religion is a circus company focused on exploring contemporary circus and interdisciplinarity. The company was founded by Quim Giron and Niklas Blomberg in 2012, with Giron taking on the artistic direction from the very beginning until 2017, when the company underwent significant growth.
Its first full-length show was the solo Indomador (2013), which toured for six years across Europe and Latin America. Indomador reflects on human animality, gender, and their interrelations.
