Spellbinding circus double-bill blends theatre, dance, high-risk acrobatics
Nanaimo, BC – September 29, 2017: Back by popular demand: A spectacular contemporary circus double-bill. Following rave reviews from last Season’s circus performance we had to bring back more this Fall!
Join us for a jaw-dropping double-bill: Circus Squared: An Evening of West Coast Contemporary Circus on Sunday, October 15 at 7:30pm at The Port Theatre.
The evening begins with three of the West Coast’s favourite jugglers in Cause & Effect Circus’ award-winning The New Conformity. This remarkable “…clever and compelling” (Times Colonist) performance examines the universal struggle of the modern age: the comfort of conformity versus the freedom of individuality all told through tightly choreographed piece blending prop manipulation, martial arts and physical theatre.
A Fringe award-winner, this mesmerizing show not only features high-level circus skills but “…transcends circus performance,” (The Marble Theatre Reviews) by blending in theatrical social commentary. Watch as three co-workers struggle throughout the day over disagreements that spiral into chaos.
