Knitting Peace
Follow the threads to peace in an elegant stage show that marries breathtaking artistry with beautiful live soundtracks.
About Knitting Peace
To build a world takes many strands, complex movements, tangling and untangling. To knit is a promise – an opportunity to create something with optimism, to create order from disorder, to experience peace.
In Knitting Peace, Cirkus Cirkör explore the possibilities of peace, and how deep focus on collective acts can manifest a reality of peace in the world.
Enter our knitting circle, where the impossible becomes possible, faith becomes truth and many individual threads weave together to become something powerful.
Knitting Peace premiered in 2013 in Marseille, and is available to book for touring from 2022.
”An aesthetic whole, a well-composed visual poem, executed with scenic, contemplative calm."

”Breakneck poetry in a homespun world. A charming and sympathetic work where the whole trumps the individual efforts – like stitches in a knitted piece.”
