Photo Flash: First Look at Circa's THE RETURN at the London International Mime Festival
This year at the London Barbican Theatre's International London Mime Festival, Circa will perform their new show THE RETURN. The festival will run from 27 January - 31 January, with performances at 14:30 and 19:45. Click here for more information, and check out photos from the production below!
The awe-inspiring power, riveting virtuosity and creative heart of Circa's acrobatics. The sublime soul of Monteverdi's operatic music. From the Australian company that has transformed contemporary circus comes another genre-defying show, celebrating the expressive possibilities of the human body pushed to extremes.
This new work for the Barbican signals the return of a star ensemble whose past two productions - the sell-out How Like An Angel followed by the remarkable Opus -have enthralled London audiences. Akin to a physical poem, the staging sees six highly skilled artists precariously lift, hold, levitate and fall, their movements driven by the twin forces of desire and absence.
