Scene
Gellerup Cirkus Festival: Copenhagen Acro Collective
We live in a time seemingly full of strife, conflict and division. Us against them, people against people, nations against nations, cultures against cultures. Human life as a zero-sum game where someone’s gain can only be achieved through someone else’s loss. We believe there is another way. A way where our capacity of love and care is stronger than our animosity, our capacity of understanding and compassion more resilient than our divisions and our differences are celebrated and become our strength.
20 individuals from different nations and cultures (Denmark, Australia, Peru, Canada, UK, Uruguay, Finland, Spain, Chile, Portugal, USA, Germany, Brazil, Ireland, France) have come together to form Copenhagen Collective, a brand new acrobatic collective in Copenhagen. Their first production – The Genesis – talks about how we all relate to each other and how we are intrinsically dependent on each other.
