On by Circa

Back

On By Circa is circus at its contemporary best - as thrilling as it is moving.

After the smash-hits of Humans 2.0Carnival of the Animals and Peepshow, Brisbane’s globally renowned Circa returns with their newest creation On by Circa.  

A chance encounter. A touch. An improbable connection. On by Circa follows eight strangers whose lives cross in the courtyard of an apartment block. Over the course of a single night they will fight, love, laugh and find moments of beauty and transcendence.  

Created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz, with a pulsating score from Melbourne composer Jethro Woodward and striking lighting design from Paul JacksonOn by Circa is an unmissable and powerful new work infused with fierce humanity and exceptional acrobatics.
