Language Circus

Language Circus. Getting into a language on the same conditions as a child – communcating with the body.

With circus as a theme and with the help of myths, movements and music, we get closer to our Sami languages. Being a beginner is a little easier if the language is a gmae with room for mistakes and nonsense. How does the reindeer herder conjugate verbs? What does the juggler do when he says something wrong?

Here, the audience is invited into the world of the language circus with play, juggling and acrobatics.

By: Marina Georgescu
Based on the original play by:
Patricia Fjellgren, Siri Hamari och Erik Rosales
Participants: Sara-Helén Persson, Katarina Rimpi, Sebastian Björkman, Rasmus Wurm

Facts: The Language Circus is directed towards children, aged from six to eleven. Guided by a clown, a Sami linguist and an actor, the children will play and learn about the Sami languages through acrobatic exercises, clownery and games.
