An ensemble of nine brilliant acrobats gathers at a purgatory-like bus stop, all trying to leave something behind but unsure of where to go next. Over the course of a day and a night, they must find a way forward together, unpacking the complexities of their individual histories before collectively meeting a new dawn.

Set in a dreamlike landscape that flits between past and present, a myriad of circus disciplines interact, showcasing both individual brilliance and collective innovation. Haunting, playful, ethereal and ultimately deeply uplifting, this is a show to reinforce your sense of wonder in an oftentimes difficult world.

We will host a discussion after the show on November 15:

“Narrative Circus: how does story work within contemporary circus?”

Part of what makes circus so accessible is its ability to explore deep themes nonverbally. But how does contemporary circus engage with narrative storytelling? Join us following the performance for an explorative discussion with some of the cast members of Kintsugi hosted by Chamäleon dramaturg Geordie Brookman.

The conversation will take place in English with limited translation available for questions. Duration 30 minutes.
