Overview

"Incredibly beautiful…." -Skånska Dagbladet

More than 2 million international fans have witnessed the unforgettable, cirque-inspired theater – what can only be described as gorgeous, heart-stopping spectacle.

The American Premiere of Knitting Peace by Swedish circus troupe Cirkus Cirkor soars into Philadelphia for PIFA2016. The inventive, awe-inspiring, contemporary performance blends together a striking set installation created almost entirely of recycled yarn, five world-class trapeze artists, live music, and jaw-dropping acrobatics.

Cirkus Cirkör's upcoming performance, Knitting Peace, presented as part of PIFA 2016, weaves together questions about striving and knitting with breathtaking feats of circus artistry. It asks: Can striving in and of itself make a difference? Is knitting our way to peace possible?

  • Why do you knit?
  • What are you striving for?
  • Is knitting our way to peace possible?
