Description |
Il Ritorno is Circa’s ground-breaking new work co-commissioned by Brisbane Festival, fusing Circa’s world-renowned stripped-back acrobatics with baroque opera. Over 80 taut minutes, it retells Claudio Monteverdi’s Il Ritorno D’Ulisse in Patria intermingling it with folk song and new compositions and percolating it through the lens of Primo Levi’s post WW2 European displacement. |
