Ten local artists exhibit art with a focus on astronomy.
Doors open at 6:15pm.
Tucson grassroots performance troupe Cirque Roots brings its latest production to The Edward B. Berger Performing Arts Center in downtown Tucson, AZ. Exist: Messengers of the Cosmos is an astronomy-inspired theatrical circus infused with hard science, mythology, and universal questions. Audience goers will also have the opportunity to experience a free educational workshop by Aaron Farber on the Fate of Earth and a visual art gallery inspired by the stars.
Exist is an artistic venture that integrates art and science. Projections, acrobatics, stilt dance, poetry, narrative, original music, and innovative circus props build a truly multimedia experience of the cosmos. Carl Sagan’s famous quote, “We are star stuff,” is the seed of Exist. It implies that we are composed of chemical elements that originated inside stars. Our planet, our bodies, and everything that we love and cherish are here because of the life cycle of stars. Exist explores the physical and emotional significance of what it means to be human in the Universe.
Pay what you can! We are employing the philosophy of radical hospitality to our ticketing system. Without ticket sales, we can't make art for our community. But we never want to create a model where lack of funds makes art inaccessible to anyone.
Includes VIP seating, an intergalactic goody bag, and special thanks in our program.
Can't make it to show? But, you want to support Cirque Roots vision to inspire the community through dance and movement.
