QUIPROQUO 
Rewarded contemporary circus, dance and object theatre


"Danish Arts Foundation - Film and Performing Arts has chosen to reward Quiproquo - a poetic contemporary circus performance with Samuel Gustavsson and Niclas Stureberg. The show moves elegantly and easily through many worlds. It is philosophical, mathematical, poetic, humorous,
deeply human and at the same time very exclusive. The show gives the audience the greatest gift of live theater - Quiproquo makes us wonder. Thank you!" 
Danish Arts Foundation - Film and Performing Arts


“Surprising, refined and entertaining. Two equilibristic performers and jugglers perform imagiative scenes with bricks, sticks and a silver ball, and it is done with exquisit, graceful movement qualities - playfully easy and elegant”. Vibeke Wern, Danstidningen

Can people be manipulated to perform actions they would not have chosen to do themselves? Does the free will exist? QUIPROQUO sets out on a quest to find the answers to these ques- tions and more.

QUIPROQUO is created by and starring the performers Samuel Gustavsson and Niclas Stureberg, who both draw upon their strong backgrounds in the world of circus and use it in the universe of dance. Using body improvisations and a string of objects they have created a subtle fusion between the theatrical stage image and the equilibrium of juggling.
