Humans by Circa
Created by Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble
Presented by Adelaide Festival Centre
Adelaide Premiere
AUSTRALIA | BRISBANE
Ten acrobats take us on a stirring journey of what it means to be human, and of how our bodies, our connections, and our aspirations all form part of who we are.
Exploring the physical limits of their bodies as they are pushed to the extreme, they question how much we can take as humans? Who can we trust to support our load?
Created by Yaron Lifschitz and award-winning Brisbane based contemporary circus company, CIRCA, the stage is stripped bare as the vulnerability of a team of highly skilled acrobats is exposed. With incredible strength and integrity, they connect each moment seamlessly with the next in a thrilling and heart-stopping performance. Glimpse their humanity as they find redemptive power in strength and celebrate what it means to be fiercely human.
“The five-star favourite . . . a clear demonstration of the artistry of circus” The Guardian
★★★★★ “The result is spectacular… that will leave you to muse on the wonder and fragility of life." The Age
