About the show

An extraordinary work of circus/dance that lingers in the mind and ignites the soul.

Strange creatures emerge in the ashes and dust of this world. Through mythic scenes of purification, birth, awakening, and ritual, the inheritors of this new dawn dance and soar towards the
anima mundi, the world soul.

Directed and choreographed by Bence Vági, Paradisum explores the new possibilities of cirque danse, a genre that combines contemporary dance and circus arts, in search of an ethereal language of movement expressing the concerns of humanity.
