Internationally acclaimed circus company, Circa, famed for their inventiveness, precision, and creativity, bring the joy of the animal kingdom to the Lyric Theatre stage in this physical theatre extravaganza.
A blend of circus, multimedia and music, Carnival of the Animals is a magical reinvention of the classic music by French composer, Camille Saint-Saëns. Depicting creatures from land, sea and sky, Circa's performers take children and their adults on a safari through the lives of the tortoise, the elephant, the kangaroo, the swan, the life aquatic and many other beasts.
Featuring large digital projections and huge silk swathes, the stage is transformed into a series of wonderous animal habitats, while performers stun audiences with acrobatic feats and aerial skills. It's an exuberant celebration of life on earth and the power of our bodies to express who we really are.
