The power of three disciplines performed by three emerging theatre artists.
Banished from its birthplace, an unearthly creature struggles to find its way in a new world. With guidance from this world’s unusual inhabitants, the outcast creature seeks refuge from this unfamiliar territory, and ventures to return to Lhasa: land of the gods.
The spectacle of silks, the thrill of the trapeze and the beauty of aerial, see these timeless circus arts like never before! Lhasa unites circus, theatre, and music, exploring the relationships between performer and apparatus, character and creature, dreams and reality, in a journey that defies time, space and gravity.
