An unforgettable adventure of movement, music, and light! Circa’s Humans 2.0 is a breathtaking blend of acrobatics and imagination—where ten incredible performers twist, balance, and soar together in ways that seem to defy gravity. With heart-pounding music and stunning lighting, this world-class circus experience celebrates what it means to be human: strong, curious, and wonderfully connected. Humans 2.0 invites audiences of all ages to marvel at the power and beauty of people working—and flying—together. 

This next chapter of Circa’s internationally acclaimed Humans 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, Humans 2.0 is intimate, primal, and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human.

About Circa
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).
