See the bodies of 10 fearless acrobats hurl, twist and collide as the Australian-based performance troupe, Circa, takes the stage this month at Irvine Barclay Theatre.

Seen by over 1 million people in 39 countries, Circa is at the forefront of contemporary circus. Its diverse range of thrilling creations “redraw the limits to which circus can aspire,” the Australian newspaper The Age described.

Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” has inspired dances and ballets for over 100 years, but never circus – until now. In this first-ever circus setting of “The Rite of Spring,” Circa weaves together powerful acrobatics with poetic tenderness and raw emotion – penetrating the senses and stirring the soul.
