Press clippings:

“Sirqus Alfons Television is a rampant meeting between acrobatics, slapstick and cool technology.”

“This experience should not be trivialized by a description in too many explanatory words. ”

“The timing is breath-taking and the way the interactivity is created by including the audience in regular intervals is daring. Not even the party on stage can be fully aware of the direction the events take at times.”

2One could imagine that the humour-filled numbers would risk loosing their charm when almost everything is based on Flashy technological solutions but that is not the case. Quite the contrary. Something which is proved, not the least by the bombastic finale where Sirqus Alfon, with the help of this technology, surpass themselves.”

“It is a real pity that the performance is not shown again at Östgötateatern before going on tour. I would really have liked to recommend this innovative theatre to all inhabitants of Norrköping.2

I missed Sweden’s soccer game against Holland. It doesn’t matter. I could not keep up with the reports on Sweden’s Social Democratic party’s leader Håkan Juholt. That doesn’t matter either because yesterday at the theatre I had the opportunity to follow Sirqus Alfon’s hysterically funny and ingenious performance.
Lars Stjernqvist Blog (local government commissioner, Social Democrats Norrköping), October 12, 2011

I still haven’t quite recovered from the world premiere at Östögötateatern. Sirqus Alfon achieves a fantastic, cross-border performance. For those of you who weren’t there, the performance is on tour in Sweden. Will there be more emerging artists with the same creativity?
