This is the second short residency for the Danish company Copenhagen Circus Space, in which they work on the performance Fika!

About the performance

Four distinct characters gather around a table for coffee, hoping to reconnect over a warm and cozy afternoon. But tensions arise when their differences clash—especially between a slow, well-meaning host and an impatient guest—pushing their friendships to the breaking point.

This contemporary circus project explores how conflict reveals the true strength of relationships, particularly in a time when young people struggle with loneliness, digital isolation, and emotional understanding. Through its nonverbal, cross-generational language, the performance invites children, youth, and accompanying adults to reflect on empathy, connection, and how we navigate feelings together.
