The Circus Animals Desertion

A major new dance theatre performance from the makers of The Blue Boy and Have I No Mouth.

The Circus Animals’ Desertion is a poetic response to the imagining of nations, inspired by the Automatic Script experiments of Georgie and William Butler Yeats in which they called upon the
spirit world to assist with their creativity.
Sampling texts and imagery from Yeats’ plays and poetry as well as archive recordings and interviews, the piece is performed by an international cast of dancers and musicians.
