Recirquel’s Paradisum at Vancouver Playhouse

DanceHouse and The Cultch present the North American premiere of Recirquel’s haunting Paradisum, on stage January 21-24 at the Vancouver Playhouse. Directed and choreographed by Recirquel’s Artistic Director, Bence Vági, the daring, full-length work fuses circus, contemporary dance, and physical theatre, using the common language of movement to explore themes of renewal and connection in the face of an uncertain future. Accompanied by a striking soundscape of strings, electronica, and percussion composed by Edina Szirtes, six performers take the stage, embodying the overwhelming effort of existence in a post-apocalyptic world. Elements of stagecraft – a rippling black drape, a ladder, rings, a hoop – transform the stage into a living being, creating otherworldly vistas as the artists engage in breathtaking aerial work and choreography.
