Football Dramatics is a rousing tribute to football – the game, the emotions and the culture – brought to life through circus, technology and magic.

Using classic theatrical elements and a new, explosive cast of performers, the world of football is dissected into an hour-long stage experience.

Here, everything that makes the sport so beloved is captured. The electric atmosphere in a packed stadium, the rush of a decisive goal, the despair of defeat and the joy of the choreography of iconic goal celebrations. With high-level acrobatics, the ball takes on a life of its own, hurtling through the space and changing the match in real time.

And the audience? They play a decisive role. 

With cheers, applause and shouts, the supporters can influence the referee’s decisions, at least in this match.

On stage is Sirqus Alfons founder Erik Rosales, alongside circus star Aaron Hakala (most recently in Red Hot Condition), actor Siri Hamari from Siri on a Tightrope, and mime artist 

Ana Stanišić, acclaimed for her unique art of movement. 

Together they form a team of some of Sweden’s leading physical artists, now appearing for the first time in a joint production.

A fast-paced show in glamorous sportswear, where circus meets football and the audience becomes part of the game.

The Swedish National Theatre in collaboration with Sirqus Alfons.
