Cirque Alice

Cirque Alice at Fox Theatre - Detroit

Wonderland is already strange. Add aerialists and contortionists, and the rabbit hole gets a lot wilder. Circus gives that imagination another language: balance, movement and the physical ingenuity of performers. Cirque Alice brings Lewis Carroll's Wonderland to the stage through aerialists, contortionists, puppetry and dancers, using physical artistry to give a familiar literary world a fresh theatrical expression.

This production pairs contemporary arrangements of classical music with the kind of feats that defy casual explanation. Contortion and aerial artistry offer different ways to appreciate the skill behind a surreal theatrical world. Puppetry and dance fold into the same frame, and guest musical and comedic artists arrive to tilt the atmosphere further. It's surreal imagination expressed through discipline and control.

The familiar story becomes a new visual experience when told through circus. Carroll's imaginative adventures become a starting point for movement, balance and physical invention, giving fans a different way into Wonderland. Different art forms share one bill, and the result is Wonderland filtered through a lens that privileges the body over the page.
