Step into Hull Minster and see it transformed as it sets the stage for an hour-long circus performance like no other! Created by the visionary Yaron Lifschitz and performed by members of the globally renowned Circa ensemble to the magical music of Arvo Pärt, Eternity goes beyond the physical capabilities of the human body.
The talented circus artists of Circa explore powerful themes of love, death, loss, hope and wonder as they undertake awe-inspiring acrobatics and immerse you in a state of rapture, with the Hull Minster as a stunning backdrop. Expressing human experience in a way that will touch your heart, it poses the question: can circus grapple with the mysteries that lie outside the visible realm?
Eternity features two monumental works of contemporary spiritual music by Arvo Pärt: Tabula Rasa and Fratres, creating an atmosphere that transports you to another world.
