The young Swedish circus company Below Zero is making its German debut at the D\u00fcsseldorf Festival with its show \u201cIn Praise of Shadows\u201d, which explores the shadows within us and around us. Alongside Australian and French companies, Below Zero exemplifies a distinctive Scandinavian style that evokes the untamed, rugged yet poetic beauty of the North. \u201cIn Praise of Shadows\u201d is an aesthetically captivating show that seamlessly combines daring acrobatics with dynamic choreography, accompanied by live music ranging from whispering silence to pulsating rhythms, rustic folk music and a club atmosphere.<\/p>\n
In the summer of 2018, four circus artists set sail in the Swedish archipelago. By the time they returned to land, the dream of Below Zero had become a reality. Below Zero is a circus troupe that performs modern and innovative circus arts. Sweden\u2019s cold weather shapes the troupe\u2019s artistic expression, as creating warmth and human connection in diverse ways is characteristic of Below Zero. The troupe\u2019s name is inspired by the circus artists\u2019 ability to appear weightless in their movements, to fly almost like falling snowflakes, with time seeming to stand still and weight appearing to cease to exist.<\/p>\n
