Inspired by Norse mythology, circus artistry and folk music intertwine in a delicate performance about identity and self-confidence.

In Sway & Shadow, we meet circus artist Sarah Lett and violinist Thea Åslund. In this performance, the cyr wheel symbolizes the importance of having an inner space—a personal bubble—where one can reflect and connect with oneself. Listening to our inner voice makes it easier to find our own path in life. Thea’s musical character is inspired by the Norse mythology figure Fylgja (Shadow), a loving, protective guide who helps us navigate life and carries forward the love passed down through generations.

Sway & Shadow is a performance that, through circus and music, seeks to inspire both children and adults to connect with the strength we all carry within us.
