"Moritz Award for Best Street and Non-Conventional Show Premiere – Chiken Legz, Fira Tàrrega 2014"
Can you imagine a unique experience of circus and movement taking place on a farm? The animals vibrate, move, fly, and dance in combination with electronic music. The members of this company claim they do not believe in the human being, but in the beast that inhabits and controls our interior.
Chicken Legz is a site-specific performance created at Fira Tàrrega in 2014. Ten circus artists produced a multidisciplinary show blending circus, dance, music, and construction. The result was a 90-minute performance featuring a forklift, all kinds of acrobatics, circus, dance, techno, horses, dogs, and ducks. All the music was created live by Niklas Blomberg and Ben Smith together with the rest of the group.
