The stage as a living being: ineffable, transcendent is the atmosphere of\u00a0Paradisum<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Hungary\u2019s cirque dance company Recirquel, under the direction of the company\u2019s artistic director and choreographer Bence V\u00e1gi, brings intellectual rigour to traditional circus acts, braiding together vertiginous risk with a profound emotional core. Alive with a spiritual intelligence,\u00a0Paradisum<\/i>\u00a0transfigures feats of strength and agility into iconographic images.<\/p>\n
With its reference to a post-apocalyptic world,\u00a0Paradisum<\/i>\u00a0summons archetypal figures, each engaged with the overwhelming effort of existence. Elevating aerial and groundwork, elements of stagecraft \u2014 a rippling black drape, a ladder, rings, a hoop \u2014 create otherworldly vistas. Underpinning the larger cosmological ideas with concrete manifestations, the work is both deeply grounded in the earth and yet defiant of gravity.<\/p>\n
As the performers carve out moments of stillness and grace: the truth of the body emerges in all its primal antediluvian power. Rebirth is too limited a term: this is\u00a0anima mundi<\/i>\u00a0(world soul).<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"recirquel-2026-01-24","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-01-24 14:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"01","day":"24","hour":"14","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-01-24 17:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"01","day":"24","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-01-24 22:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"01","day":"24","hour":"22","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-01-25 01:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"01","day":"25","hour":"01","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Vancouver","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Performance","slug":"performance","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":7,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":350,"filter":"raw","id":7,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/thedancecentre.ca\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/7","collection":"https:\/\/thedancecentre.ca\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":{"_ecp_custom_2":{"label":"Genre","value":"Circus|Multiple Genres"},"_ecp_custom_3":{"label":"Region","value":"Vancouver Coast & Mountains"}},"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Recirquel","description":"<p>Co-presented by Dance House Vancouver and The Cultch.
