Cirkopolis (Cirque Eloize)

Modern circus, inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis. Pole, juggling, seesaw jumps, floor and aerial gymnastics (definitely no animals), and sometimes just a hint of danger, with good use made of projections, set changes, costume, music, colour; the highpoint was the graceful - grace built no doubt on enormous strength and control - girl in a red dress with what I've now learned is called a Cyr wheel. Enjoyable.

(w/ Caroline plus a couple of her friends - part of the Melbourne Festival)
