Touching Two Worlds: Reality

In an era of deep fakes, AI distortion, and algorithmic filters, Reality explores what happens when we can no longer trust what we see and hear.

Across three acts, performers spin through a world of manipulated perception, revealing how the line between illusion and truth blurs—disrupting our sense of self, our relationships, and our collective sanity.

A breathtaking circus experience where over twenty artists explore how to stay human, live and love, in a post-truth world.
