Our performance is a cross-composition of live music and circus arts, using the composition tools of long musical pieces like progressive rock, jazz or classical music. The performers of Circus I love you are 8 swiss army knife -acrobat/musicians from different places in Europe. Our circus is absurd, death defying, simple and happy. It is the logical continuum of the slow life -trend, standing for voluntary simplicity, sustainable development and culture for all. We direct our power of action into a family friendly show promoting peace and love. The performance premiered in July 2018 in France, and has so far (Nov 2021) been seen over 110 times by over 33000 people in France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Lithuania
