In OPA FASHION, the fusion of circus, music, and technology creates a dynamic world where sound and movement are in constant dialogue. Multi-instrumentalist Mischa Grind channels his expertise in folk music and sends waves of sound through his brother Vejde’s body, which transforms into fluid, rhythmic movements before being released through the spinning Cyr wheel.
The amplified wheel, with its intricate sound design, generates astonishing sounds that reflect back into the performance, weaving together a continuous loop of sound and motion.
A central feature of the performance is the String-wheel, a unique hybrid of a double bass and a Cyr wheel. This experimental instrument, combined with live looping, creates soundscapes that immerse the audience in the performance. The brothers improvise within these sensory loops, creating moments that are emotionally resonant, visually stunning, and entirely unique.
This performance explores not only the fusion of different art forms but also the deeper, more personal story of brotherhood, heritage, and creative intuition. Expect a powerful, playful, and innovative performance that invites the audience into a moment of presence, wonder, and collaboration.
