We explore Nature through the coming together of physics and heightened artistry. Emergence and correlation: coming together to form the whole—sub-atomic particles form matter, grains of sand become dunes, stars cluster into galaxies; Quantum Curiosities---A cat contorts into a box, at once awake and asleep, entities entangle; Projectiles and Spins, arcing across the horizon, exuding angular momentum as electrons, planets, black hole mergers. Together, a festive celebration of what makes us who we are!
Show created by Le PeTiT CiRqUe®’s director, Nathalie Yves Gaulthier, in collaboration with physicist Smitha Vishveshwara and physicist-performance artist Julia Ruth. Poetic physics narrative and voice-over script by Smitha Vishveshwara. Choreography by Kevin Holland, Cirque du Soleil’s Amara De Felippo, and Nathalie Yves Gaulthier.
