Combining “astonishing physical mastery” and “poetic resonance”(New York Times) with playful sensuality, Australia’s CiRCA breaks out of the big top to create a bold new vision of circus as a delightful, provocative and contemporary art form. Over the course of 80 intense minutes, the streamlined troupe of seven moves from highly connected acrobatic and tumbling sequences through fast-paced intricate scenes to a haunting finale. Blending bodies, lights, and sound—including tracks by Leonard Cohen, Sigur Ros and Cake—CiRCA’s boundary-pushing work plumbs the philosophical depths where cirque and dance collide.
