Life on the Line//Nonni
Iceland University of the Arts
Graduation Festival 2026
MA Performing Arts
Inspired by the writer's own experience as a circus performer in a traditional traveling circus, this show offers an intimate glimpse behind the scenes, focusing on life in the shows of the appearance. Life on the Line refers to the necessary performing daring and physically challenging acts, until danger and pain comes a family, what happens and has been what happens.
