Chaos Theory II
The Chaos Project is a contemporary circus show comprising three distinct but interrelated vignettes exploring the thematic concepts of chaos and order. The work uses movement to delve into how these concepts intersect, collide, complement and challenge one another in different human settings. Each vignette is led by a different choreographer in collaboration with the performing artists, offering a variety of perspectives on the work, themes and overall concepts.
The overall project is conceived and directed by Kirsten Edwards with dramaturgy by Zita Nyarady and produced by Hercinia Arts Collective.
