Founded in 2006, Royal Bones, the Danish circus company has highly skilled members who are equally trained in circus, dance, theatre and music. The play is directed by Lars Rudolfsson, who is possibly the most influential figure in Swedish music theatre, and has worked both with the ABBA and the Royal Swedish Opera. In this work with Royal Bones, whole artists can prove their talents in every second of the play, he evokes Shakespeare’s world with phenomenal artistes and musicians drawn from strange fairy tales and king dramas. Goblins, kings, traitors and magicians, mad lovers and spleeny princes fill Rudolfsson’s stage in the production that is a truly magnificent spectacle but difficult to define through its genre.
