subspecies is based on director Olle Strandberg's own story of a crash. A shattering, transformative blow that could have been the end. Instead, it becomes a reboot and a way forward. Underart is a joyful celebration of what happens after a crash landing. To what happens thanks to a crash landing.

I subspecies features seven performers who all have a connection to Olle's crash. With experience from the world's top circus stages, they mix balancing acts, acrobatics, street dance, juggling and intense coffee breaks with specially written live music. Inspired by their own and each other's crash landings, the performers find new, joyful and unexpected ways to explore failure. Also on stage is the musical duo Ripple & Murmur with their specially written epic indie pop.

"You stand in the ruins of your high ambitions and goals. You instinctively try to recreate them. After years of toil, the shocking realisation comes that you have built something completely different. Only then do you realise that you are no longer the same. The resignation. The regret that you didn't create an assembly manual when you had the chance. And then the acceptance and exploration of the new." Olle Strandberg
