Session 10EE: Cosmic Tumbles, Quantum Leaps: A Performance by Le PeTiT CiRqUe

Cosmic Tumbles, Quantum Leaps: A Performance by Le PeTiT CiRqUe®

Join us for the world’s premiere of Cosmic Tumbles, Quantum Leaps, performed by Nathalie Yves Gaulthier’s multi award-winning Le PeTiT CiRqUe® and created for the APS March Meeting 2023! Witness child prodigy acrobats, cirque performers, Team USA Gold medalists Acro in action. 

 

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.
