A celebration of human resilience, strength, and collective ascent, Rise explores our capacity to elevate ourselves and one another. It is a poetic meditation on possibility—on the triumphs and trials of our striving, the perils we face, and the limits we push against. In this journey, we confront uncertainty, test our boundaries, and ultimately, together, rise.

Conceived for an ensemble of world-class acrobats and aerialists, Rise is directed by Circa’s Benjamin Knapton, with a stirring, dynamic score by Jethro Woodward and breathtaking physical artistry, the performance is a kinetic odyssey of gravity-defying feats and raw energy.
