Eternity

The Circa company is one of the pioneers of Australian contemporary circus and is regarded as a world leader. For more than 15 years, the ensemble, led by Yaron Lifschitz, has had close ties with the Düsseldorf Festival, which has co-produced some of its most significant works. Circa last appeared here in 2025 with the sensational show “Wolf”. The new creation “Eternity” is quite different; it is conceived for a sacred space and delves deeply into the mystery and spirituality of iconic works by Arvo Pärt such as “Tabula Rasa” and “Fratres”. Circa creates haunting images for ultimate themes such as love, death and loss, but also promise, hope and profound wonder.

We are offering a “Down Under Special” for this event: if you purchase one ticket each for the “Eternity” and “Ten Thousand Hours” events, you will receive a 10% discount on the total price of both tickets. Please note that this discount cannot be combined with other offers.

Created under the direction of Yaron Lifschitz and the Circa Ensemble.

Eternity is co-commissioned by Brisbane Festival and City of Newcastle’s New Annual festival.
