Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2017

Higher and Higher/ Sons Company

Sons Company is consited of 2 Swedish artists, Einar Kling-Odencrants and Anton Graaf. Einar has a background of sking and gymnastics, and Anton has also a background of sking. The duo met in a circus school in Stockholm and has been working together since 8 years ago. The duo chose to use teeterboard for their performance because it shares the same quality as sking but it is more extreme. Performing on teeterboard is not only extreme but also it requires the preciseness of landing on the same spot.

This is the second time Sons Company has participated in Daidogei World Cup in Shizuoka. According to the duo, they are having fun and enjoying people and culture of Japan. The duo also enjoys the direct feedback they get from the audience.



The duo started their act to receive attention, but that soon become only a part of the reason. Now they do it not only because their hobby has become their job, but also for the ability to make new acts for their audience. When they have an idea, they practice in small parts first. After they perfect the small parts, they put it together. Even those process is enjoyable for the duo, and that's how they create this incredible teeterboard act.

I got to talk to fans who also came to see the last performance 2 years ago. According to them, their performance became even better than last time. Go check out this continuously improving duo's performance!
