Texas Performing Arts Presents C!RCA, 4/27

From Brisbane, Australia, Texas Performing Arts welcomes this bold new vision of contemporary circus that creates a space where acrobatics and movement meld into a seamless whole, fundamentally redefining the nature of circus as spectacle. Sexy, funny, and explosive, C!RCA presents a breathless cocktail of new circus, burlesque, and cabaret paired with an immersive use of sound, light, and projection.

Since 2006, C!RCA has performed in 24 countries across five continents. Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz is a graduate of the University of New South Wales, University of Queensland, and National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) where he was the youngest director ever accepted into its prestigious graduate director's course. Since graduating, Yaron has directed over 60 productions including large-scale events, opera, theatre, physical theatre, and circus. He was founding Artistic Director of the Australian Museum's Theatre Unit, Head Tutor in Directing at Australian Theatre for Young People, and has been a regular guest tutor in directing at NIDA since 1995.

The company brings their celebrated work CI!CA to the Bass Concert Hall stage. This intense 75-minute piece features seven skilled performers moving from highly connected acrobatic and tumbling sequences, through fast-paced intricate scenes, through to a hauntingly beautiful closing.
