Hringleikur

Whatever the weather

Whatever the weather is a contemporary circus show that examines the relationship between the weather and ourselves. Through acrobatics, aerials, strong visual images and quirky humour Hringleikur draws out the effect that the weather can have on us - the emotions, the energy, the stories. Whatever the weather has captivated audiences of all ages domestically and internationally and received Gri_man, the Iceland Theatre Awards, in 2021 for best stage movement.
