WUNDERKAMMER is a German word meaning "wonder room". A cabinet of curiosities was an encyclopedic collection in Renaissance Europe of types of objects whose categorial boundaries were yet to be defined.
Circa is world-renowned for creating starling new ways to experience the circus. Combining seemingly impossible physical feats with a poetic sensibility, its creations move, amaze and astonish.
In this exquisite cabaret of the senses, a diva melts into a rope, balloons and bubble wrap to discover their artistic soul while bodies twist and flies. Seven performers of unbelievable ability bend the very fabric of reality. Sexy, funny and explosive, Circa presents a breathless cocktail of new circus, cabaret and vaudeville. Control and abandon, skill and humour, lyricism and anarchy all meld into a sinuous fugue of profound beauty.
“… something extraordinary. It’s breathtaking, beautiful and sexy: there is a remarkable sequence in which a woman in red stilettos walks all over a man’s body that says a great deal about sexual politics and even more about sadomasochism. But Circa is also astonishingly moving, its story of human co-operation and frailty emerging through an acro-ballet.”
