16 An acrobatic spectacle

Renowned Australian choreographer Yaron Lifschitz’s latest show combines dance with acrobatics to explore the limits of strength and flexibility. In place of elaborate backdrops and flashy lights, a bare stage helps exemplify the adrenaline-fuelled movements of the 10-member circus troupe. Their stunts—a packed performance of human jump rope, extreme leapfrog and human pyramids—flow from graceful to extreme, showcasing the most astounding things that human bodies are capable of.
