Description

Combining physical performance and immersive installation, VARC – Visual Audio Radical Circus transforms a warehouse on Gordon Street into a stage for bodies exploring the possibilities of physical space, giving permission for provocative play on the ground and in the air!

VARC will bring together a cast of multidisciplinary circus artists into a uniquely curated space, each brimming with technical talent in aerial performance, with the ability to evoke within their artform, testing limits and stunning you with captivating execution.

Their work will be complemented by an original score from Belfast sound artist Marty Byrne.

This is a collaborative work, curated and produced by Emmen Jude Donnelly, one of Ireland’s most well-respected aerial arts practitioners. The making of this show has been supported by the 2025 CQAF/FOF bursary for circus.

“A strobe flickers on a dangling body as it twists & writhes in the air, daringly contorting to the pulsating heavy rhythmical beat.”

Duration: 50 mins
