"Once I've let go of my trapeze and I'm in the air, I'm past the point of no return...I surrender myself and trust the catcher to correct the error..."

Inside out is an exhilarating creation from Sweden's dynamic and contemporary circus ensemble, Cirkus Cirkör. A dazzling combination of phenomenal acrobatic feats, bewitching storytelling and video imagery, this unforgettable production is an exploration of life, death, and the fears that bind us all. Set to an intoxicating live performance from Swedish rock group Irya's Playground, this is a true celebration of the circus arts - infused with seduction, humour and a whole lot of heart.

Two people trapped in their own definition of safety and success find their lives turned upside down when they encounter a circus company of charming and bizarre characters. Spectacular acrobatics, trapeze, clowning, mime, magic and illusion are delivered with cocky commitment from the talented performers, defying gravity, logic, and predictability at every turn.

Cirkus Cirkör was founded in Stockholm in 1995 with a desire to change the world through circus. It soon evolved from an underground movement with a cult following, to a formidable circus ensemble that has toured the world to rave reviews. Be inspired and transformed by this mind-blowing production - Inside out dares you to take your fear by the hand, and jump.

Age recommendation: 10+

The day we all said "No more animals in the circus" was a great day for world theatre. Acrobats, clowns, trapeze artists, jugglers, musicians, and illusionists were obliged to find new ways of carrying on old tricks.

On November 14, 2009 I went with friends to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (music & much more) to see the Swedish circus troop Cirkus Cirkor perform their show, "Inside: Out." Their shows at BAM were the first in the United States; then - in a flash - they went back to Sweden.

I am, in truth, a big child at heart and an evening in the company of jugglers, acrobats, clowns, trapeze artists and such like is an evening well spent. And not many evenings can be better spent than at Cirkus Cirkör and its life-affirming show Inside Out.
