Immersive DanceCircus

Quality, audacity and humanity. For more than 20 years, these are the three core values which have governed the work of Circa, based in Brisbane (Australia). Dance, theatre and circus is the other fundamental triad that defines its trajectory. In addition, there is an extraordinary command of the languages translated into spectacles intended to surprise, touch, and of course, entertain. Stage director, Yaron Lifschitz, is the ideologist of a completely unconventional company, one that is determined to go beyond the standard boundaries and reinvent itself with each new proposal.

Circa comes to the Teatro de la Maestranza with Duck Pond, a redesigning of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, the classical ballet of ballets. Like all icons, it is easily open to parody. Except that the transgression by Lifschitz and his troupe does not forget how well poetry suits humour. As a result, from the acrobatics of the swans, ducks and princes plus the boundless energy of this reimagined romantic ballet, a sentiment of seeking one’s own identity emerges. Mind you, with a lightness and brilliance that is far-removed from any gravity. The perfect immersion to come into contact and love dance.
