Circus and Opera Collide in New Arts Centre Production

In this retelling of Claudio Monteverdi’s Il Ritorno D’Ulisse in Patria, Circa’s groundbreaking new work Il Ritorno fuses folk songs and abstract compositions, percolating it through the lens of Primo Levi’s post WWII European displacement. Taken from the second half of Homer’s Odyssey, Il Ritorno was created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz in collaboration with composer and arranger Quincy Grant.
