Wear It Like a Crown
Porter ses peurs et ses échecs avec fierté
Tilde Björfors – Cirkus Cirkör
In this piece, both tragi-comic and absurd, perhaps channeling the fantastic universe of the filmmaker Tim Burton, Tilde Björfors explores order and chaos, as well as the transformation of risk into opportunity. Based on the song Wear It Like a Crown by Rebekka Karijord, who also has written the music for this piece, she shows us that we may choose to carry our failures, our fears and our faults as if they were a crown, that we may polish that crown and wear it with pride. Here are six strange and magnificent characters, facing the weight of their own solitude, facing their demons through some astonishing circus numbers. This fascinating piece is both performance and poetry, rock and roll, dark, sublime.
