Last chance to see Inside Out in Stockholm!
Inside out is a circus show celebrating the circus arts, it’s technical skillfulness, magic and way to look upon life. A performance nourished by a circus heart, sparkling of awesome live music and Cirkus Cirkör’s energy, warmth and humor.
A great review from Cardiff-Wales
5 out of 5 in South Wales Echo. "Accompanied on stage by the beautiful ethereal sounds of Swedish dream pop exponents Irya's Playground - think Bjork fronting Arcade Fire - the whole effect is of kooky artistic escapism on a grandly ambitious scale." By David Owens

"Inside Out er både sirkus, teater og konsert med Irya's Playgrounds drömmende pop." Og gir deg en berusende fölelse av at ingenting er umulig.
Great reviews from New Zealand!
Words about the band:
"Integral to the show's success is Irya's Playground, who are a live soundtrack act to be reckoned with" nzherald.co.nz
"The quintet of musicians, Irya's Playground ("Sweden's alternative rock darlings"), have a great thing going and all the songs, by remarkable vocalist Irya Gmeyner, are as impressive as her OTT glamorous dress-ups." stuff.co.nz
Reportage om Irya's Playground i DN kultur Söndag!
"Roligt rörig och rockig från början till slut", berömde DN i sin recension efter premiären i Lund i september 2008. Sydsvenskans utsände kritiker lade till: "Och hela tiden finns livskraften där – i briljanta cirkusnummer, i omsorgen om detaljerna och inte minst i Irya's Playgrounds musik som med sin energi driver föreställningen framåt och bidrar både med extravagans och vemod."
Kritikerkramade har Cirkus Cirkör varit förr. Men att gensvaret skulle bli så starkt – nittiosju procent av biljetterna har gått åt på de platser i världen där föreställning har spelats sedan premiären – anade nog allra minst Irya's Playground; rockkvintetten som både medverkar och kompar på scen.Så här hundra föreställningar senare har sångerskan Irya Gmeyner svårt att finna en förklaring.
