Eclipse | A Contemporary Circus Production
Advertisement
Eclipse is a contemporary circus production which maps a path through the clamour of environmental destruction and political extremism, into a future of light and hope.
Devised by WA's renowned theatre maker Sally Richardson in 2022 it was first explored by National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) students in 2023. Over the past three years CircusWA has forged connections and relationships with Melbourne-based NICA, and the South Australia Circus Centre to bring Eclipse to its full vision in 2026.
This premiere comes to the State Theatre Centre under the guidance of physical theatre Director Meredith Kitchen. The performers reflect the breadth of our humanity with a mix of ages - professional and youth circus artists. Through this production moves two young musicians singing original lyrics inside Louis Frere-Harvey's rich composition.
Eclipse is a modern reflection on a changing world order, examining the complexities of existence in the Anthropocene.
More than a performance, Eclipse is an invitation for us to reflect and imagine a future in which we can all thrive and grow.
A present future. Be curious. Come explore.
