"Persuasively integrating dance, acrobatics, and
Dada-esque play into
vibrant postagitprop political theater, Sol niger measures
the
scale of a raging global crisis within the fundamentally
sane proportions of the human body."

Directed
by Keith Hennessy, CIRCO ZERO makes live performance sparked
by current and historic social realities. Rooted in contemporary
dance & performance art we forge a dynamic synthesis that
includes circus, theatre, visual art and live music. With
a focus on experimentation and research, CIRCO ZERO evolves
performance language, builds community, and nurtures a vision
of live performance relevant to everyday life.
