New England Center for Circus Arts presents Fractured
Date: Thursday, May 23, 2019
Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Revel in the nuances of acrobatic theater that is at once otherworldly and accessibly human as you forget what is possible and immerse yourself in the joy of the human spirit in motion.
Fractured examines the familiarity of patterns, the comfort of a loop in time, and the monotony of a life unexamined. And a moment that can change everything. From New England Center for Circus Arts, the internationally recognized circus school known for outstanding physical and creative programming, comes Fractured, the culmination of three years of professional education in NECCA's ProTrack Program.
For aspiring performers, NECCA's 3 year ProTrack provides elite acrobatic and aerial training alongside movement and physical theater, instigating a deeper capacity for creativity within circus arts. In their final year, a small group of these accomplished students devise a show for touring, embracing innovation and daring at the intersection of circus, theater, and dance.
Tickets $10, Seniors $8.
