Step into a dreamscape with Solstice: a Winter Circus Experience. At the heart of the story is a girl who loses her light and stumbles into a world where time bends, memories breathe, and the familiar becomes impossibly strange. Shadows dance, snow drifts fall, and acrobats blur the line between the everyday and the extraordinary.
More than a circus, Solstice is a living poem — a place where nostalgia meets surreal wonder, and where audiences are invited to rediscover the childlike awe of seeing snow for the first time.
In 2026, Solstice returns with all-new elements and an original score composed by NC artist Bella Nona, weaving music, movement, and imagination into a one-of-a-kind celebration of the human spirit.
