Tråkmånsafton

A circus show about the most boring day of the year. Based on a children’s book by Adam Dahlin.
When Antti is bored he goes to Jonny The Scrap Collector and Leif Nordin - the best neighbors in the world. They claim that just like Christmas Eve and Midsum- mer’s Eve, there is also a Boredom Eve. It’s simply the dullest day of the year and it’s just today. There are many fine traditions such as cleaning, wardrobe fishing and bathtub diving. But even though they strive to be really bored, they fail - they have simply too much fun.

Med akrobatik, objektmanipulation och jonglering berättar cirkusartisterna Julietta Birkeland, Jenny Soddu och Jean-Hicham Rahmoun en historia där allt faller upp, dyker ut och cyklar fram, och där publiken presenteras för en i vår tid snart glömd lekkamrat – vardagstristessen.

Baserat på en barnbok av Adam Dahlin i dramatisering av Stina Oscarson.

Utvald till BIBU 2020. Juryns motivering:
“A visual and comic circus show about everyday sadness. With an offspring in a narrative, the group lets the circus move the story forward, with juggling, object manipulation and acrobatics. In a stage room where anything can come from anywhere and where the costume and mask for the thoughts of kitsch and pop art, Tråkmånsafton is a feast for the eye, but also a philosophy about the meaning of boredom. Circus for children and young people grows avalanche in Sweden and Kompani Giraff has established itself as one of the country's leading groups in the field ”

Citat:
”Saw Tråkmånsafton with Kompani Giraff. So amazingly good! Fun and skillful and just wonderful! Will see it again when the opportunity arises. Bravo!"
