The story

For the city's Night of Museums, Upsala Circus split its evening into four parts and named each one after an element. Fire, Earth, Air and Water, one after another, from daylight to dark.

One evening, five hours, four elements and more than 500 guests on the lawn, on the pond and on stage.

FireUpsala Circus artists and the youngest rebels

The main fire performance of the night, and the loudest part. Upsala Circus artists came out on stilts and with giant puppets, then a carnival took over, led by the circus's youngest rebels: drums, flying basketballs, confetti and coloured smoke across the lawn.

  • CostumesI came up with the looks for the fire act.
  • ConceptI helped invent what happens across the whole performance.
  • HostI led the show on the night, microphone in hand.
