Ricochet: Within the Echo of Violence | January 30 & 31

NOUVEAU SUD | VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS GUEST ARTIST SERIES

January 30 & 31 7:30p.m.

 
The Nouveau Sud Circus Project has embarked on a new creative journey to address an issue that we are called to respond to as artists and as a company centered on people of the global majority -  gun violence and how we are affected by it. For over two decades we have seen an increase in the unfortunate and terrifying events of mass shootings at a national level. Churches, public spaces, concert venues, universities, elementary schools... and the list continues. Nouveau Sud uses the structure of a series of vignettes, utilizing their signature acrobatic language and the contemporary circus arts as a vehicle to look for answers to our communal recurring questions: Why? How do we protect us all? Do we want this? Can we stop it?
