SUMMARY:JS Bach's The Art of Fugue by Circa
DESCRIPTION:Created by Yaron Lifschitz with the Circa Ensemble and based on the original production created with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and its Artistic Director\, Paul Dyer\, The Art of Fugue brings together two remarkable disciplines: the intellectual rigor of Johann Sebastian Bach’s final masterpiece and the physical mastery of contemporary acrobatics. \nFeaturing 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Silver Medalist Vitaly Starikov\, Bach’s intricate and unfinished The Art of Fugue unfolds live at the piano while Circa’s internationally acclaimed ensemble responds through movement\, balance\, and aerial artistry. Under the direction of visionary circus creator Yaron Lifschitz\, the performers translate Bach’s complex counterpoint into a striking physical language that explores precision\, discipline\, and human potential. \nRenowned worldwide for redefining contemporary circus\, Circa creates performances where exceptional athleticism and sophisticated artistry exist in equal measure. In The Art of Fugue\, music and movement intersect in a work that examines the limits of both intellectual and physical achievement. \n“Seamless marriage of music\, balletic tumbling and mind-blowing balancing acts.” — The Daily Telegraph \n“Eighty-five minutes of breathtaking physical performance.” — Limelight \nCommissioned by the Moss Arts Center\, Virginia Tech and the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center. \nCirca acknowledges the assistance of the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body\, and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. \nPresented in association with Aspen Music Festival and School

SUMMARY:Cirque Kalabante: World of Words
DESCRIPTION:Cirque Kalabanté: WOW\, World of Words explores communication beyond spoken language through circus\, storytelling\, music\, and movement. At Wheeler Opera House in Aspen\, the production brings two groups together on a stage divided by a symbolic line. One shares ancestral African knowledge through stories\, songs\, and ritual initiation\, while the other receives\, learns\, and sometimes resists. \nAs language becomes an obstacle\, gesture\, rhythm\, and sound form a new vocabulary. Double Dutch skipping\, bungee straps\, rope-based contortion\, and acrobatic contact become pathways for dialogue. Guided by Trust\, Respect\, and Wisdom\, the performers gradually dissolve the boundary between them\, blending traditional and contemporary movement in a choreography of unity and collective awakening. \nKalabanté Productions was founded in Montreal in 2007 by Yamoussa Bangoura\, a multidisciplinary artist of Guinean origin whose work draws on West African traditions and international circus experience. The company now performs worldwide and operates a Montreal studio and school offering African dance\, circus\, and drumming classes.
