Brisbane Festival and Queensland Performing Arts Centre present
Leviathan
3-12 Sept
Circa’s ensemble is joined by a cast of Brisbane-based acrobats and dancers in a staggering work of scope, scale and ambition.
Queensland Premiere
Under the direction of Yaron Lifschitz, 36 performers defy gravity as they propel themselves across the stage, tumbling, balancing, and soaring together, as one.
Exploring the massive and unpredictable energies that are unleashed in a civilisation careening toward an unknown fate, Leviathan offers hope in these complex times. Connecting the local with the global, it celebrates what we can achieve when we work together.
The dramatic power and extreme skill of Circa’s trademark acrobatics thrillingly expose the tension between the mass and the individual in this deeply moving and physically stunning show.
