Yoah

About the Show In the moonlit glow of dawn, a young wanderer named Yoah descends from her aerial silks into a circle of Shinto spirits, made manifest as mysterious maestros of cirque! Hypnotic projections play in sync with the performers as they send juggling balls soaring, conjure confidence atop a tower of chairs and fling their glowing diabolos to the heavens in hopeful arcs of neon. Set to a dramatic medley of traditional Japanese drumming and thumping electronica, this wordless symphony of circus will dazzle your breath away. Things to Know While the New Victory has presented circuses from 14 countries over the last 30 years, YOAH is the first circus we’ve presented from Japan! From the moon as a symbol of woeful contemplation to the four marebito -like spirits bearing gifts of circus wisdom, YOAH ‘s imagery draws from the myths and traditions of Shinto, the native religion that still plays an important role in modern Japanese culture. Cirquework has performed YOAH in Australia, England and Switzerland, but this will be their first time performing in the United States! The show on stage is just one act of your experience!
