Grapes & Glory
Grapes & Glory is a 40-minute circus performance by Imogen Huzel, Nelli Kujansivu, Lisa Angberg, and Sarah Lett, created for young audiences. What begins as an ordinary meal spirals into a surreal world filled with playful, unexpected twists. Blending high-level circus with imagination and humor, the show explores a future that’s both strangely familiar and wonderfully weird.
With hope and creativity at its core, Grapes & Glory invites young people to dream boldly and see the world through new eyes.
