Humans 2.0
Ten bodies. No limits.
They appear in a flash of light, moving in harmony for a fleeting moment and then descend into a sinuous trance. Towers grow and decay, bodies leap and are caught, as physical limits are pushed to their extreme. Can we ever find a perfect balance or is adapting to constant change the only way forward?
Circa's Humans wowed Hop audiences in 2019, and this thrilling next is a tightly woven choreography of bodies, pulsing with music by composer Ori Lichtik and revealed in Paul Jackson's dramatic lighting. Created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa ensemble, Humans 2.0 is intimate, primal and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human.

Circa: circus that moves the world.
Circa is one of the world's great performing arts companies.
Since 2004, they have called Brisbane, Australia, home while touring the world, captivating audiences in over 45 countries and reaching more than two million people. Their award-winning performances have earned standing ovations, rave reviews and sold-out shows across six continents.
Everything they do is fuelled by their core values: quality, audacity, humanity.
They are at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus, redefining the art form by showcasing how extreme physicality can forge powerful and emotive experiences.
They are relentless in the way they push boundaries, blending movement, dance, theatre and circus.
Under the visionary leadership of Yaron Lifschitz, and in collaboration with their extraordinary ensemble of circus artists, they craft a diverse array of productions that constitute "a revolution in the spectacle of circus" (Les Echos). Each year they tour their shows across the world and premiere multiple new creations. They are a staple at prestigious festivals and venues in New York, London, Berlin and Montreal as well as throughout Queensland and across Australia.
Their extensive engagement programs, including Circa Academy, Circability and Circa Cairns (a First Nations-led circus initiative) provide access, participation and professional development outcomes. They have delivered major projects, including the Creative Lead on the Commonwealth Games Festival 2018 and managing Artour for the Queensland Government.
They invite you to join them as they continue to "redraw the limits to which circus can aspire" (The Age).
“Pushes the boundaries of what circus and acrobatics can be…”
