【2024 Weiwuying Children's Festival】Circa - Carnival of the Animals
►[ House Program ] Circa Carnival of the Animals
A production by Circa and QPAC's Out of the Box Festival
Video: vimeo (Circa Contemporary Circus)
"... A spellbinding and mesmerising performance... about wild imagination, explosions of magic and comical humour that speaks to everyone, especially children... a spectacle not be missed. "——Brisbane Kids, AUS "Magical to experience...a truly beautiful piece of interactive theatre."——Theatre Review, NZ "Agile, athletic acrobats filled the stage, moving in eerily animalistic ways... a breathtakingly beautiful, imaginative and unique experience."——Preschool Mummy, AUS |
Internationally acclaimed contemporary circus company Circa from Brisbane, Australia presents Carnival of the Animals, a blend of circus, multimedia and music. This family-friendly show magically reinvents the classic music suite by French romantic composer Camille SAINT-SAËNS.
Depicting creatures from land, sea and sky, Circa's performers take children and their adults on a safari through the lives of the tortoise, the elephant, the kangaroo, the swan, the life aquatic and many other beasts of fur, feathers and fin. It's an exuberant celebration of all of earth's creatures and the power of our bodies to express who we really are.
Created by circus visionary and Circa artistic director Yaron LIFSCHITZ, and the Circa ensemble, Carnival of the Animals brings the joy of the animal kingdom to the stage in a sophisticated and visually stunning physical theatre extravaganza for children big and small. Circa is world-renowned for pushing artistic boundaries and creating powerful works of circus art that thrill, challenge and captivate as they constantly reimagine circus as an artform.
Written in 1886, SAINT-SAËNS' Carnival of the Animals has been adored by children and adults for many generations. It is a playful and magical work of music imbued with Victorian eccentricity whose fourteen movements each explore a specific or group of animals. For this production Australian composer Quincy GRANT artfully reworked and extended the original suites. On stage Circa performers are accompanied by and interact with sumptuously detailed animation created by UK-based Australian video designer Michaela FRENCH.

Team Introduction
Circa
Circa Contemporary Circus is one of the world's leading performance companies. Since 2004, from its base in Brisbane, Australia, Circa has toured the world - performing in 45 countries. Circa's works have been greeted with standing ovations, rave reviews and sold-out houses across six continents.
Circa is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus - pioneering how extreme physicality can create powerful and moving performances. It continues to push the boundaries of the art form, blurring the lines between movement, dance, theatre and circus. Compelled by the question "what is possible in circus?" Circa is leading the way with a diverse range of thrilling creations that "redraw the limits to which circus can aspire."
Under the direction of circus visionary Yaron LIFSCHITZ, Circa has been a regular fixture at leading festivals and venues in New York, London, Berlin and Montreal with seasons at Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Barbican Centre as well as major Australian Festivals.
