Australia’s Circa Ensemble embodies electrifying explosions of physicality and power in this stunning work that blurs the boundaries of dance, theater, music, and circus arts.
Known for their “stratospheric skill” (Australian), the troupe melds circus acrobatics with contemporary dance in the tender and savage En Masse, featuring music by Swedish composer Klara Lewis interspersed with selections from Schubert’s haunting Winterreise and Schwanengesang. Heightening the stakes, a two-piano arrangement of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring yields the anarchic energy of acrobats caught in a life-and-death struggle.
“The 14 members of the Australian ensemble Circa are more like acrobatic dancers. Or dancing acrobats. Either way, they are amazing.”– New York Times
U.S. premiere / Part of White Light Festival 2019
