The Genesis

Booking Required

Choreographed by Patrick King and Johan King Silverhult, The Genesis gathers fifteen acrobats from thirteen countries in a visceral, apparatus-free circus that blends physical rigor and anthropological insight. The company constructs towering lifts, pyramids and human columns while powerful female bases support daring male flyers. Explosive jumps, flights and catches create breath-taking moments that probe community, solidarity and the dynamics of trust and risk. The work is a bold, emotionally charged celebration of collective strength and mutual dependence.
