- A step, repeated throughout the show becomes an invitation for the audience to join the joyful rebellion on stage.Participation is always optional; viewers may remain seated and observe, or they may “activate” their experience and enter the dance.
Choreographed by LRP’s Co-Director Isak Enquist, Fall(se) Circ(us) examines the dichotomy between labour and rest. Moments of performative, gravity-defying physicality ultimately give way to moments of visceral, improvised movement, activating the opportunity for a powerful shared experience between audience and performer.
“This work is inspired by my desire to build community through dance–spaces where people from different walks of life can share the physical experience of movement,” says Isak Enquist. “In Fall(se) Circ(us), what begins as the pursuit of physical excellence–akin to a circus performer’s spectacular feats of skill–falls away to reveal the vulnerability and exertion of that performer’s humanity within their labour. Technique gives way to presence, composition to improvisation.”
“Through subverting the expectations of what a dance performance entails, our hope is to open the possibility for audience members to enter into and influence our movement, resulting in a collective moment of joyful rebellion against the toils of everyday life,” adds Co-Director Eowynn Enquist.
The work is set to a bass-forward, rhythmic score designed by Isak Enquist and fellow Vancouver-based dancer, actor, and musician Tyler Layton-Olson. Lighting design is by the award-winning Jono Kim. This is the second performance for LRP, following the company’s premiere of Creature Comfort, created and performed by Isak Enquist and Eowynn Enquist in 2024.
Co-presented by New Works and Little Room Productions, in partnership with The Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre.
