“Circa and FRANUI aim to create in URLICHT PRIMAL LIGHT a symphony of bodies and music that is thrilling as it is moving.”
Yaron Lifschitz
A unique encounter between the internationally renowned Austrian music band FRANUI from Innervillgraten in East Tyrol and the world-renowned Australian acrobats of CIRCA from Brisbane as a scenic and musical rediscovery of the universe of Gustav Mahler’s songs. Together the Australian star acrobats create body worlds and sculptures to the incomparable Mahler song interpretations of FRANUI as an extraordinary music theatre event and scenic rediscovery of the great Austrian composer.
