C!RCA (AUS): Circa

2800 Ft / Student: 2200 Ft / Season Ticket is valid

An adventure, a dangerous game with the human body and the limits of physical performance – the Australian way. Top-grade acrobatics.
 

80 min.

CIRCA is a distilled, spectacular performance and an entirely new approach to the circus genre. No set, no props, just the truly realistic stage presence of – not so – encumbered bodies. No story, no narrative, no theatricality – interdependency and mutual trust come to life before our very eyes, not through some parable, but rather in its most simplistic physical reality in the mysterious glow or piercing glare of the lights.
 



CIRCA is the synthesis and revision of the finest moments of three previous plays (The Space Between; by the light of stars that are no longer…; Furioso).
 

Since its formation in 2004, the young company from Brisbane has amazed audiences in countless countries across five continents. Hungary is one of the long-awaited destinations of their current European tour and we can truly assure you that listening to the performance’s musical score is enough to convince you.
 

Circa is just about human bodies. About what they can do, how much they can take, how they can be funny and sensual and cruel. About their possibilities. The six-strong cast of charismatic young Australian performers need nothing more than their bodies, a wildly eclectic soundtrack, great lighting and a couple of aerial cords to create an utterly wonderful hour-long piece.
