Dandelion

How to grow through concrete and co-shape the world

Dandelion was performed in 2023 in Latvia in collaboration with Riga Cirks, and the culmination of the EEA funded project “Circus for Climate”.
The performance built on a series of workshops with Latvian youth and what they think about the climate crisis.

“I’m afraid that we won’t make it”, they said, straight to our face.

Dandelion is a contemporary circus performance about the crossroad we are facing. In a world in climate and biodiversity crisis, what pathway do we take? What will our future be? And if you could decide: What does the future look like?

Exploring different realities through spectacular acrobatics, dance, music and the voices of Latvian youth, Dandelion created stunning and unexpected imagery of what the world could become.

Taking inspiration from a dandelion, which can survive and spread its seeds despite harsh conditions, humanity has a chance to survive when we start collaborating, supporting and creating together. The performance empowered young audiences to spread inspiration on how our actions matter.
