"Observing the stars we experience an emptiness that is not our own”

by the light of stars that are no longer… combines Circa’s physical virtuosity with a haunting soundtrack (featuring works by MUM, Sigor Ros, DJ Shadow and Leonard Cohen) and startling use of projected light. by the light of stars that are no longer… is a hauntingly beautiful work suffused with longing and wonder.


Circa’s premiere season of it's new work by the light of stars that are no longer… played to near capacity houses for the four night season at the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts.

 

The response to the show was overwhelmingly positive from audiences and critics alike.

 

ABC reviewer Nigel Munro-Wallis writes:

 

by the light of stars that are no longer... is a concept and a show that really has to be seen to be appreciated. No amount of words could really describe what happens or the range of emotions one feels in watching such an ensemble do such incredible things with their bodies. As I said, the emotional journey one is taken on is quite something and, I suspect, very subjective. I feel fairly confident that each and every audience member on the evening I attended would have got something quite different out of the experience but that is indeed the beauty and artistry of the piece.
