A new work of contemporary Circus and Performance
Conceived & Choreographed by Keith Hennessy
Created in collaboration with Brett Womack, Emily Leap, Max,
Seth Eisen, and Sean Feit.
* Sol niger is Latin for black sun and refers metaphorically
to a solar eclipse.
"Sol
niger is probably Hennessy's best work yet. Looking at the
devastation humankind has brought on itself, the work celebrates
and laments the glory and frailty of being alive."
Rita Felciano, SF Bay Guardian"
“A vibrant and theatrically daring
new work…Circo Zero’s Sol niger is charming, funny,
quirky, disturbing and frequently, to use an old-fashioned
word, beautiful.”
Michael
