THE GENESIS
by The Copenhagen Collective

THE GENESIS is a breathtaking one-hour contemporary circus experience that dives deep into human connection, resilience, and the power of unity. Through jaw-dropping acrobatics and heartfelt storytelling, The Genesis reflects our modern world where individuality shines, but true strength emerges when we come together.

Seventeen world-class acrobats bring the stage to life, creating stunning visuals and intricate group formations that push the limits of movement and emotion. With powerful female bases and gravity-defying male flyers, we challenge expectations and celebrate diversity in body, background, and artistry.

Bold, breathtaking, and deeply moving. Audiences of all ages have laughed, cried, and leaped to their feet in appreciation.

The lighting design evokes a blend of a mystical cathedral and the vibrant energy of nightlife, enveloping and celebrating the performers in its warm embrace.

THE GENESIS features an original soundscape that combines classical violin, piano, and various acoustic instruments with voices in song and recitation. Elements of jazz and rhythm and blues are woven in, along with moments inspired by club music, creating an engaging atmosphere for the audience.

The show premiered on July 4th 2024 at Baltoppen LIVE in Copenhagen and has since continued to tour through Europe.
