Over 75 intense minutes, the performers move from highly connected acrobatic and tumbling sequences, through fast-paced intricate scenes through to the hauntingly beautiful closing scenes of by the light of stars of stars that are no longer... Circa's signature style -- combining poetic physical beauty, extraordinary skills and an immersive use of sound, light and projection. Circa causes beauty. It finds new emotional landscapes inside what is generally considered to be a spectacle. With work that has toured to 22 countries across five continents in the past three years, it works across cultures, audiences and venues. It's the appeal of something that is skilful but hasn't forgotten that to be human is, in the first instance, to feel. With CIRCA, you can expect to see amazing skills in new and startling configurations, bold and innovative use of video and lights, a moving soundtrack and a muscular and precise movement sensibility. Circa's work is very fresh -- complete with acrobatic dance and multi-media. Its shows are deeply felt and make audiences think and feel. "One hesitates to start a festival off giving a five-star review, but this is truly outstanding." The Irish Times, UK 4 STARS: "... knee tremblingly sexy, beautiful and moving." The Guardian, UK "There are hoops and ropes and sticks, but mostly there is just astonishing physical mastery." The New York Times, USA
