Step into a world where the boundaries of human capability are pushed to their limits, where bodies intertwine in a mesmerising dance of acrobatics and light, where every moment is an exploration of the human experience. This is Circa's latest masterpiece: Humans 2.0 performing at the Frankston Arts Centre in April 2024.



As the lights dim and anticipation fills the air, watch ten figures materialise in a burst of brilliance. Their movements a symphony of precision and grace, weaving together in perfect harmony before spiralling into a hypnotic trance. Towers rise and fall, bodies soar through the air only to be caught at the last moment, defying gravity with every breathtaking leap. Humans 2.0 is a performance that challenges the very notion of balance, inviting audiences to ponder whether adaptation to constant change is the key to our evolution.

For those who were captivated by Circa's unforgettable Humans performance at the Frankston Arts Centre in 2018, the arrival of Humans 2.0 is cause for celebration. This eagerly anticipated sequel promises to transport audiences on an intimate journey into the heart of what it means to be human.



Crafted by the visionary mind of circus pioneer Yaron Lifschitz, Humans 2.0 is a tightly woven tapestry of movement and music. Composer Ori Lichtik's pulsing score sets the stage, while Paul Jackson's dramatic lighting reveals the raw emotion coursing through each moment. It's a sensory experience unlike any other, where laughter and awe intermingle with moments of profound introspection.

"Spellbinding physical drama, with just the right amount of play, death-defying tricks, and whimsical imagery," raves The Conversation. Indeed, Humans 2.0 is a tour de force of spectacle and storytelling, balancing on the razor's edge between comedy and gravity.

"[Humans 2.0] pushes the boundaries of what circus and acrobatics can be," declares Time Out. From start to finish, it's a journey that defies expectations and leaves audiences breathless with wonder.

Recommended for ages 8 and up, Humans 2.0 is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the boundless potential of the human body. Commissioned by The Mondavi Center, UC Davis, Circa's latest creation is a testament to the enduring legacy of innovation and creativity.

Circa proudly calls Meanjin (Brisbane) home, paying respect to the Traditional Custodians of the Jagera and Turrbal lands. It is a reminder that the stories we tell and the art we create are deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture.

So, come join Circa as the troupe embark on an extraordinary journey where anything is possible, and the only limit is the boundless imagination of the human spirit.
