Circa has dared to create a physical score for the towering masterpiece of the symphonic repertoire – Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

Ten world-class circus artists under the direction of Yaron Lifschitz present Beethoven’s music in its rebellious physical form. Fearless and ferocious, human drama is writ large in Beethoven 9 – with emotionally-charged choreography intricately woven to reflect the powerful score. Extreme skill and dramatic acrobatics play out in this moving anthem for humanity, where the lines between movement, music, dance and theatrics are blurred and boundaries are pushed.

PRAISE FOR

Beethoven 9
“Lifschitz created an extremely sympathetic embodiment of the score, impressively executed by 10 performers”
The Age
“Circa’s interpretation of the 9th was visceral... shifting between shadow and light, contorting into living sculptures both grotesque and elegant, and all too human.”
Limelight Magazine
“Responsively choreographed to meet musical shapes and textures”
The Australian
