Is it possible to knit 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. It is easy to give up when confronted with one's own insignificance in comparison to the world's greatness and complexity. Nevertheless, each movement begins with the individual. In this show we explore the meaning of our aspiration and we’ll find out if it’s possible to knit peace.
Knitting Peace opened in Marseille January 2013 and have been touring in 3 continents, 13 countries and 59 Cities between 2013-2016. The revival kicked off in Borås Stadsteater in 2022.
