Private times to receive from the closet can also be arranged during the week depending on to the dance organizer’s availability.

A story of ideas evolving and repeating, but never quite converging, while playing with the nuances of scale and tempo. In the enigmatic realm of the arts, where definitions and expectations are redefined, Shape of Circus proudly presents Parallels. Parallels explores the artistry of evolving concepts, transforms abstract ideas into stunning acrobatic feats, and cascades into a myriad of captivating variations. Observe as Parallels pays homage to contemporary circus by blending partner acrobatics with conceptual storytelling to turn the theatre into an echo chamber of movement.
