General

Gregarious is a wonderfully anti-heroic study of the human side of sports. The show finds itself in the space between competition and fraternity. Team spirit against rivalry.

Based on their own friendship and partnership, the two artists have created a contemporary circus gem bursting with charm, energy and bubbly humour.

With absolute superior physics, spectacular scenarios and witty bites, they explore the role of masculinity and make us recognize and laugh at ourselves.

Original idea: Soon Circus Company (Sweden/Catalonia)

Performer: Nilas Kronlid, Manel Rosés


About Soon Circus Company

Soon Circus Company was created by Nilas Kronlid and Manel Rosés.

They met in the Circus University of Stockholm. Together with two more persons they created an act that went on to win Gold at the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain. After school they have worked with companies like Cirque du Soleil, Cirkus Cirkör and many more.

Their passion for acrobatics and movement brought them together. But their friendship and similar artistic goals has kept them together. The show Gregarious is their first production. It has played over 60 times and in more than 10 countries.


Biography

Nilas Kronlid
Manel Rosés

Swedish as he is. He’s got the Nordic calmness on stage that contrasts very good Manel’s hesitant nature. Nilas coolness makes him be very precise in his acrobatic moves on the teeterboard and the Chinese pole.

Less secure and precise than Nilas, this Catalan acrobat is somehow able to generate empathy among the audience. Doing handstand and teeterboard helps him finding the Zen.
