“Impressive and sophisticated contemporary New Circus at its best.” Berlin Morning Post (Germany)

“A seriously sensational spectacle: as aesthetic as it is athletic, as comedic as it is grave, and all in all, a visceral delight.” The Conversation (Australia)

A symphony of acrobatics, sound and light, Humans 2.0 is next-level circus by the Australian contemporary troupe Circa. Created by the visionary Yaron Lifschitz, this innovative new work delivers tightly-woven choreography that is intimate, primal and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human. Bathed in an ever-changing palette of dramatic, expressive lighting, 10 phenomenally athletic performers build and dismantle intricate human towers, leap into one another’s arms and push their physical limits to previously unimagined extremes. Their explosively kinetic interaction is “so remarkable as to almost defy description” (The Guardian, U.K.).
