Three unreasonably flexible circus performers navigate an unwieldy pile. They change shape, dissolve and reinvent themselves in startling formations. Through circus, humour and magic, The Pile tells the story of the contradiction of wanting to belong, and at the same time longing to break free.<\/p>\n
Kompani Giraff invites young audiences to a work inspired by an absurdist and surrealist art tradition. Through spectacular, movement-based fabric sculptures, existential themes of growth, resistance and liberation are explored.<\/p>\n
Kompani Giraff is back again at Dansens Hus after the audience successes Clouds<\/em> (2022) and A Study of Losses<\/em>(2024).<\/p>\n The performance is recommended for children from middle school and their adults.<\/p>\n The work premieres on our Studio Stage, and is co-produced by Dansens Hus<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A flexible circus performance about an unmanageable pile and the desire to break free.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":47962,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-47961","dh_event","type-dh_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dh_eventcategory-studioscen","dh_eventcategory-barn-och-unga","dh_eventcategory-forestallningar","dh_eventcategory-skolforestallning"],"meta_box":{"components":[{"component_type":"artist","linkbox":{"linkbox_background":"#f4f4f4"},"component_artist":{"artist_image":"46982","artist_heading":"Om Kompani Giraff","artist_text":"Kompani Giraff \u00e4r ett Stockholmsbaserat nycirkuskompani som skapar visuella och egenartade cirkusf\u00f6rest\u00e4llningar med en passion f\u00f6r vardagens magi.
