The family show RAAF, by artists Klara Sköldulf Phillip and Ronja Breuk, is Sweden's first modern high-wire show.

The traditional art of balancing on a tightrope high above the ground intersects with Below Zero's warm and choreographic aesthetic in a poetic dance at high altitude.

RAAF means raven in Dutch. The raven is an animal with a mythical meaning, a messenger that hovers between heaven and earth. An intelligent animal that lives in pairs for most of its life.

Experiencing RAAF is like looking at the clouds, a choreographed play where you can see shapes if you look long enough. The story revolves around friendship, sisterhood and life itself, with the dancers going their separate ways but always standing by each other's side.

HIGH WIRE

The traditional circus discipline of high-wire is defined by the wire dancers balancing on a metal cable high above the ground, often with a long balance stick in their hands. Sometimes the wire dancers are secured, but usually not. High-wire is a circus discipline with a high level of tension, where any mistake can be devastating. RAAF promises a highly technical wire dance for the whole family, with the aesthetics of a watercolor picture book.
