Entanglements:

An Ocean Circus Show

Tickets

Entanglements pairs contemporary circus with scientific research to tell the story of ocean deoxygenation and its impacts on local marine ecosystems.

In this exploration of ecological grief, resilience, and hope, audiences will be immersed in the stunningly diverse Barkley Canyon off the coast of Vancouver Island. Artists from Island Circus Space will bring to life the incredible characters who inhabit this ecosystem, guided by experts who understand these creatures and the threats they face under climate change.

All profits from the show will be donated to Indigenous charities on W̱SÁNEĆ land, where ICS is located and on which the show will be performed.
