The Bologna Performing Arts Center at Delta State University is bringing the excitement of Circus Electronica to the main stage Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m.
Circus Electronica represents a new frontier in electronic dance music, blending the worlds of traditional European-style circus with contemporary EDM. Embarking on its national tour debut, Circus Electronica will be performed in seven markets this October. An all-ages show, “Singularity” seeks to manifest in live performance the underlying concepts and practices inherent to EDM — seamlessly blending musical styles and samples from multiple artists into a cohesive experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Circus Electronica takes audiences on a journey that explores the relationship between humans and the computers on which they are dependent. The focus is on Oni, a girl who wakes to consciousness and realizes she has been transported to a world inside the Machine. There she comes face-to-face with the Arbiter, who escorts her through the Inner Circuitry and forces her to confront the question: what makes us human?
By combining aerial spectacle, ground based acrobatics and a live DJ, Circus Electronica has created a new artistic space that captures the zeitgeist of our time. As technology and the human experience continue to merge, important questions are raised — what qualities make us human? At what point, augmented by our own inventions, does a human become something more?
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind experience featuring live music, stunning acrobatics and fun for all ages. For tickets, please stop by or call the Ticket Office between 10 a.m.–5 p.m. at 662-846-4626. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.bolognapac.com.
