Circa

Australia’s acclaimed acrobatic ensemble Circa is joined by 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Silver Medalist Vitaly Starikov in a thrilling exploration of Bach’s The Art of Fugue. Under Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz, Circa’s performers use intricate, gravity-defying choreography to illuminate the contrapuntal genius of Bach, translating interweaving lines and complex musical structures into astonishing feats of strength. Starikov’s “raw, deeply felt and powerful” presence (La Scena) complements the ensemble’s virtuosity, creating a performance that fuses daring physical artistry with musical brilliance.
