The Return Tickets
The awe-inspiring power, riveting virtuosity and creative heart of Circa’s acrobatics.
Overview
The sublime soul of Monteverdi’s operatic music. From the Australian company that has transformed contemporary circus comes another genre-defying show, celebrating the expressive possibilities of the human body pushed to extremes.
This new work for the Barbican signals the return of a star ensemble whose past two productions – the sell-out How Like An Angel followed by the remarkable Opus –have enthralled London audiences. Akin to a physical poem, the staging sees six highly skilled artists precariously lift, hold, levitate and fall, their movements driven by the twin forces of desire and absence.

Critic reviews
An astonishing thing to watch: graceful, bombastic. Profound.
