Yesterday was the opening night for Tim Barsky’s Echo's Reach and despite a few hiccups, a key performer was injured during an earlier show, some missed juggles, and a few sloppy dance moves, the show was interesting, entertaining and worth seeing. Overall the performers worked hard to put on a good first nights show.
Live music and two of the most talented narrators accompanied the performers; one sang and the other beat boxed and at times it was difficult to tell whether the music was live or recorded they were so good.
According to Barsky’s PR Firm NEQA Communications, the show is describe as: “an imaginative new production by Tim Barsky that reunites him with circus performers from City Circus/Acrosports and a top-notch group of collaborators in urban music, hip-hop dance, and aerial acrobats.”
“The production deepens Barsky’s vision of a new, hybrid performance style called Urban Circus Arts – a genre unique to City Circus. Urban Circus Arts crosses traditional circus arts (acrobatics, aerial acts, and contortion) with contemporary city-born forms (breakdancing, parkour, beat boxing, and hip-hop theatre). The result is an energetic and ground-breaking juxtaposition of art forms that is at once accessible and thrilling.”
