Circus
Kyo Ri Gu
Petri Dish
A mixed art work of circus, theatre, dance and movement about everything we give up and endure to win. 'Kyo Ru Gi' (meaning competition in Korean) is about adrenaline, glory, ambition and sacrifice.
In a self-revealing circus mix of pole, whip, lasso, hair hanging, roller skates and contortion acrobatics, mixed with theatre, humor and dance, four characters question our ideas about gender roles and emotional development, to the rhythm of an exhilarating soundtrack.
