Setouchi Circus Factory, which seeks to offer a “contemporary circus created together with the local environment,” presents their latest ambitious work! Collaborating with various regional manufacturing industries (including iron, stone, and washi paper) and combining the performing arts and Japan’s culture of craftsmanship, the group has produced spellbinding works across numerous experiments. In “Workers!,” they use traditional Japanese carpentry to assemble a four-meter-high scaffolding on stage, from scratch, without a single nail. We guarantee that you’ll be captivated by the various scenes that unfold in acrobatic ways—at times comical, at times curious. Join us to experience a one-of-a-kind contemporary circus show that turns the art form on its head!
