A band with powerful leanings towards the absurd awaits in a performance that is neither circus show nor concert, but something you have never before seen: a musicrobatic experience.
The music plays and, as the first notes ring out, a series of absurd, poetic and always surprising acrobatic numbers are performed. Perhaps you remember Karl Stets from the Antic Teatre or the Mercat de les Flors? Well, Karl is a Danish artiste who, as he himself admits, is “always looking for the most complicated way of doing really simple things”. Now, he has teamed up with some artistic musicians and some musical artistes to fill the stage with visual and sound imagery that will transport us, through breathtaking set changes, to an extraordinary range of scenes: from the baroque period to the Far West, from a sweet, gentle landscape to a really disturbing locale… In this box of surprises, music and instruments become fused with the circus arts and the most diverse performing arts.
