The Fall

Three of the country's foremost circus artists Signe Løve Anderskov, Henriette Aarup and Kajsa Bohlin have been working professionally with (non) falling for over 20 years. Now they share their anguish and wonder with the audience, unfolding the phenomenon physically and existentially. Drawing inspiration from autobiographical material, from literature and language, from Einstein, Icarus and the myth of sin, they explore the anatomy and mythology of the fall. The fall was nominated for a Reumert in 2025 in the Special Performance of the Year category.

My body stiffens at the thought of the humiliation of the small fall and feels the anxiety of the great, never-ending fall. Because after the fall, there is nothing. Or is there?
