THE CIRCUIT: An Immersive Silent Disco Ballet to Launch Digital Rush & Lottery
Learn how to purchase discounted tickets here!
New York Theatre Company is launching new digital rush and lottery ticket options for its 2026 production THE CIRCUIT: An Immersive Silent Disco Ballet, a nightlife-driven immersive work inspired by La Ronde. Audiences can now access discounted tickets exclusively through the TodayTix app, alongside regularly available tickets through Fever.
THE CIRCUIT reimagines Schnitzler’s cycle of intimate encounters through a pulse-driven silent disco ballet that fuses dance, theater, and nightlife into a visceral, site-specific experience in the streets of DUMBO, Brooklyn. Part performance, part nightlife experience, THE CIRCUIT invites audiences into a moving, after-dark world where sound, movement, and the city collide.
Audience members are given wireless headphones upon arrival and move alongside the performers. Through the headphones, they hear a fully pre-recorded audio experience: spoken dialogue, internal monologues, and an original EDM score with sound design. This audio is transmitted exclusively to the audience; only they can hear it. While the story is delivered through the headphones, everything they see is told through dance, with a theatrical contemporary movement language driving the storytelling in real time.
Dancers and performers lead the audience from location to location - through cobblestone alleys, storefronts, and beneath the Manhattan Bridge skyline - so they are continuously walking through the work as it unfolds.
The experience creates a split reality: a private, intimate listening experience inside the headphones set against a public city environment where passersby witness a group moving through DUMBO in real time. Language exists in the headphones; physical storytelling exists in the space around them.
Co-directed by Josh Zacher and John Kroft, with choreography by Josh Zacher and associate choreography by Bobby Davis, and written by Connor Wentworth, THE CIRCUIT features an original score and sound design by Jacob Ryan Smith, with associate sound design by Anna Tobin. Anna Nader serves as Rehearsal Director and Dance Captain, with intimacy coordination by Avital Asuleen.
