ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Blending contemporary circus and classical music, the Circa company delivers a breathtaking show set to the music of Schubert and Stravinsky, in the prestigious setting of the Philharmonie de Paris.
On June 14 and 15, 2025, in the Pierre Boulez Hall, the Philharmonie de Paris hosted the acrobats of the Australian company Circa for their show En masse , a creation blending contemporary circus and classical music—a fiery tale of a fallen and then reborn civilization, set to great arias from the repertoire of Franz Schubert and Igor Stravinsky. German tenor Hans Jörg Mammel, an esteemed interpreter of the Austrian composer, sang several excerpts from the Lieder , and pianists Tanguy de Williencourt and Thomas Enhco, virtuosos of the young French scene, performed a duo rendition of the cataclysmic fervor of The Rite of Spring . In an extraordinarily athletic show drawing on dance and theater, the ten acrobats of Circa, alongside the musicians on stage, embodied a world in struggle, where trust in others is the only contract that matters.
