Cyrilov (Voice, Accordion, Double Bass)
"Abgründe" is the story of a young woman who leaves her fiancé for a circus performer. In the aftermath, however, she fails to stop him from flirting with other beauties despite the most erotic dance in early film history. The first film by the legendary Danish theatre director Urban Gad became a worldwide success and made Asta Nielsen's sensual acting art suddenly known far beyond the borders of Denmark.
This erotic melodrama, against which the censors went on the barricades not only in Scandinavia, is set to music by the Zurich duo Cyrilov with Tomáš Vysušil on accordion and Armando Wehrli on double bass. Their chanson brachial fits perfectly into this dim world of the circus with its dubious figures walking over abysses.
