Creating shows, ideas and concepts.
Cirk L is a Swedish circus company founded by Mattias Lindström and Magali Bancel.
With a large expertise in consultant work for diverse
institutions, organisations and individuals.
Specialized in stage performances with crossover art lab,
creative rigging and innovative construction.
Current project
SINFONIA VOLANTE
is Cirk-L’s new creation.
Sinfonia Volante is the result of a long project that started with the creation of four
indoor pieces that were produced by Norrköpings Symphony Orchestra, and
Östgötateatern.
We are happy to say that Sinfonia Volante has now reached its final form and had its premiere this September 2022.
An outdoor, high-flying, circus show that is performed on and around a specially designed rig. Based on “wall-acrobatic”, the circus artists and musicians – who all hang in ropes and harnesses – take over the airspace and make it their stage.
Produced by: CIRK-L and NyCirkus Öst
In coproduction with: Östgötateatern & Norrköping Symphony Orchestra
With the support of : Kulturrådet, Region Östergötland, Norrköping Kommun, Konstnärsnämnden

The show is built around 3 acts where the first one speaks about the universal sadness and tiredness one can experience though life-struggles
but still believes in beauty, transcendence, and redemption.
The piece then evolves into resilience, the will to not give up, to keep fighting.
To finish into the triumph of life and beauty.
The show is performed on an 18m high self
standing rigg that allow us to perform in lots of different places such as
parking lots, squares, fields, or parks. Since everything is happening so high
up it’s always possible to see everything so this show can take big audiences.
To be able to stand the truss is guyed
down to 5 weights of a 1000 kgs each.
The area needed to mount this rigg is30x38meters.
The stage of the musicians is a shipping
container, this container is also used to mount the truss. That way we do not
need the help of a crane.
When disassembled the truss fits in the
container and is ready to be shipped.
The show is now being adapted and will perform indoor at Subtopia in Stockholm this December.
