Past event

Have you lost the time to care for yourself?

In this performance, the artists fight for time to care for themselves, care for each other, even under extreme circumstances. How hard is it to care under tension? In the middle of a whirlwind? At great heights? While feeling pain?

Renowned British circus director Jason Dupree, acclaimed choreographer Alise Bokaldere (LV) and the phenomenal aerialist Izabele Kuzelyte (LT) join forces creating a unique, hypnotic, and powerful contemporary circus performance, blending contemporary dance, hair hanging, aerial rope and reinvented Baltic folk music.

One dancer, one aerialist, and one rope tethered together in their R-evolving relationship.

"How a Spiral Works had its UK premier at Jacksons Lane in 2025 to an enraptured sold-out audience. The hypnotic, almost zen-like circus and choreography had the audience gripped from start to finish. An absolute highlight of our first 50th anniversary season." - Adrian Berry, Jacksons Lane

‘In the current world where everything is fast-paced, caffeinated and loud, This piece was a beautiful contrast. A performance full of care, that took its time, and allowed my brain space to engage. If you want a reset then this performance is the one’ - Audience Member Art For Rainy Days

Supported by - La Volière, Le Plus Petit Cirque Du Monde, Visaginas KC, Arts Printing House, Teatronas, Rīgas Cirks, Sansusī, Epicirq Funded by Lithuanian Council For Culture
