Wilds
Three-tonnes of enriched-soil sets the stage in a epic show of acrobatic skill.
In this bold physical work, witness strength, connectivity, fragility, and humanity’s profound bond with the earth beneath us. The elements of the earth and the cycles of life clash in a battle of wills. How much can be given? Can we ever truly conquer nature, or are we forever bound to follow its rhythms?
A collision of mud and muscle, acclaimed circus performers Freyja and Conor Wild deliver raw energy, strength, and tension as they defy gravity then return to embrace the earth.
This is bold contemporary circus at its most dirty: no safety mats, just soil.
