The Magical Sound Cirkus

Kitt Johnson X-Act, Denmark
Age: 6+

Does a cake tin play the saxophone? Can a pencil dance? And what do belly dance and flying books really have in common? Nothing is as it seems when performer/juggler Samuel Gustavsson and musician Sture Ericson ask the young audience to join their Magical Sound Cirkus. Music instruments, bodies, furniture and objects from everyday life magically change their way of functioning. The Magical Sound Cirkus is an intimate, poetic and inspiring performance that blows up your imagination.

The Magical Sound Cirkus is an new and expanded version of the acclaimed New Cirkus performance Aber Dabei from 2007 by the company Kitt Johnson X-act.

”It’s a very mesmerizing experience, and the young children obviously feel the power.”
**** Børneteateravisen, Anne Middelboe Christensen 

”Samuel Gustavsson is a true equilibrist with his body (…) He moves around in great harmony – without the slightest unevenness in the centrifugation.”
**** Børneteateravisen, Anne Middelboe Christensen 

”A bass saxophone and a clarinet, in Ericsons hands these two old instruments turn into hyper modern designer boxes for the sound that is blown out of the speakers.”
**** Børneteateravisen, Anne Middelboe Christensen
