Wear it Like A Crown is Cirkus Cirkör’s
newest show. Directed by Tilde Björfors
with music by Rebekka Karijord, The title “Wear
it Like A Crown” is from a song on Karijord’s album,
The noble art of letting go. In this tragicomic and

Inside Out
Inside Out is a work of contemporary circus that
tells a simple but ageless story: the story of following your
heart’s desire. The idea of risk is doubly reinforced
throughout Inside Out with each feat of daring performed
by the company’s superb artists as the narrative story
unfolds onstage. In addition to the formidable and enchanting
performances of Cirkus Cirkör, the company is accompanied
live by Swedish rock band Irya’s Playground.
