MUSIC AND CIRCUS – BALANCE AND IMBALANCE

This highly original performance is inspired by Calder’s fascination with the circus, and his interest in the tension between balance and imbalance as exemplified in his work, Cirque Calder. A performance that combines music and circus arts, and explores movement and the world of play that so appealed to Calder.
