A symphony of acrobatics, sound and light, this is next level circus.

Ten bodies appear in a flash of light. They move in harmony for a fleeting moment and then descend into a sinuous trance. Towers grow and decay, bodies leap and are caught, as physical limits are pushed to their extreme.  

Circus meets contemporary dance in this tightly woven choreography, set to a pulsing electronic score by composer Ori Lichtik and revealed in Paul Jackson’s dramatic lighting. Created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz, Humans 2.0 is intimate, primal and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human.

Created by Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble
