The Canberra Circus Festival presented by Warehouse Circus

Circoscope Presents:

THE WAITING PLACE

On a day (which may as well be this day) in a liminal space called the waiting place, a new soul meets an old soul.
Through this meeting (which could be any meeting) the new soul learns the magical secrets of the universe, while the old soul remembers what it is to be innocent.
Based on the journey of spiritual alchemy - where the material trappings of the self are burned away so that a more authentic self can be born - this story is as old as time itself.

Yet it unfolds here, in the present moment. In the living, breathing, sweaty, popcorn drenched air of the big top tent.

Told for you, our dear audience, our unknown friends, in the present time, in our own language - this time told through circus antics, original music, shadow-play and drawings in the sand.

A living experience for which we request the presence of both your body and your mind to ask the question with us - what are we waiting for?
