Artists arrive at an empty stage, bringing bundles of bamboo. They build towering sculptures which morph, transform and become a playground for world-class circus artists and acrobats. The bamboo bends, and flexes, adding to the tension, drama, and sense of jeopardy that lies at the heart of great circus.
A meaningful, joyful performance with live music, comedy and amazing feats of strength and agility. We celebrate what’s possible when humans and the natural world trust each other and work in harmony.
