Event Details

Fall(se) Circ(us) will explore the notion of rebellion against everyday complacency through shifting cycles of “work” and “rest,” inviting improvised movement as a form of resistance. Enquist’s experimental movement language – a combination of Martial Arts, snowboarding style, and experimental floor work – will be embodied by an ensemble of seven local performing artists.

At its core, Fall(se) Circ(us) seeks to subvert expectations, transforming a traditional performance space into a shared celebration with audience members. It begins as a contemporary display of physical excellence—movement that seems to defy gravity and physics, often likened to “circus”. As the work unfolds, this intense physicality gradually dissolves to reveal a performers’ humanity — the circus falls into movement that becomes relaxed, learnable and participatory in real time. A simple hand gesture, a step, repeated throughout the show becomes an invitation for the audience to join the joyful rebellion on stage.

Participation is always optional; viewers may remain seated and observe, or they may “activate” their experience and enter the dance.
