Fusing Circa’s exhilarating brand of contemporary circus with the exquisite sound of I Fagiolini’s singing, How Like An Angel celebrates the beauty and grandeur of four stunning English cathedrals.
Join performers and singers on a journey of discovery around these sacred spaces. Intensely beautiful music and feats of astonishing acrobatics draw you deep into a world of physical daring and soaring sound, against a backdrop of stunning architecture.
Australian company Circa are at the forefront of reinventing circus, combining traditional and re-imagined circus skills with sound, light and projection. Circa Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz collaborates for the first time with Robert Hollingworth, Director of UK-based vocal ensemble I Fagiolini, who have travelled worldwide with their performances of Renaissance and contemporary music.
