Anthropic Traces

Balancing on the Edge, in association with A Girl in the Sky Productions and Thin Edge New Music Collective, is proud to present Anthropic Traces from July 27-31, 2022 at Streetcar Crowsnest Guloien Theatre. Anthropic Traces is a large-scale production fusing contemporary music, circus, dance, theatre, mask and multimedia.

Anthropic Traces showcases four original collaborative works with artistic trajectories that reflect on global issues affecting the current human condition. Anthropic Traces features ten physical performers using experimental and traditional circus disciplines including hair hang, contortion, juggling, aerial plastic, and invented apparatus paired with live performances of fresh and compelling compositions by trailblazing Canadian composers. Bound together by the threads of human impact, each piece is unique in artistic approach and topic.
