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