Chapiteau
Arts Market
Information
Chapiteau is a bold new work from Circa in which a circus tent erupts through the floorboards of the theatre, shattering centuries of form and expectation. This collision of worlds - grit and glamour, impermanence and ceremony - creates a landscape of upheaval and fragile reinvention, where bodies, stories, and traditions are stitched together into something radically new. At once poetic and physical, Chapiteau is a powerful meditation on displacement, belonging, and the resilience born from rupture.
