by the light of stars that are no longer...

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 and startling use of projected light.

Acrobatics, trapeze, tumbling, and contortion combine with the nearly lost art of ‘tossing the girl’.  These circus skills have been shaped with Circa’s unique sensibility to create an extraordinarily moving piece about our individual relationships with the heavens.

'...defies the imagination and the laws of gravity.  Improbably skilled and elastic, astonishing in their timing and precision, improbable in their expression of beauty, Circa shows superior mastery of technique and untouchable, seemingly effortless discipline.'
