Hringleikur at Subcase Cyber

Whatever the weather by Hringleikur Circus Company - coming soon

Hringleikur Circus Company is an Icelandic circus organisation working towards developing the circus scene in Iceland, through the production of circus shows, cooperative projects and events, and through running a youth circus program called Æskusirkus.

Brief description - Whatever the weather
Whatever the weather is a contemporary circus show that examines the relationship between the weather and ourselves. Weather has always been a major factor of life in the northern latitudes, but modern technology, transportation, and culture has minimized the direct effect of weather on our daily lives. Through acrobatics, aerials, strong visual images and quirky humour Hringleikur draws out the effect that weather has on us - the emotions, the energy, the stories.

The show will premiere in Tjarnarbíó Theatre in Reykjavík in May and tour domestically June-August 2021.
