Circa, “Carnival of the Animals” at Modlin Center

Joe Vanderhoff | March 6, 2018

Topics: circus, Modlin Center, performance, performance art

“Our zebras juggle and flip… Our kangaroos skip and somersault… We’ve elephants with street-cred and rhythm… And even our dinosaur bones shake, clatter, and roll to the music.” – Yaron Lifschitz, artistic director

The lines between movement, dance, theatre, and circus are beautifully blurred by the Circa carnival and its whimsical tales of creatures of land and sea, who tumble, fly, leap, and spin their way through the many wondrous worlds of the animal kingdom. Carnival of the Animals whisks you away on a thrilling escapade inspired by the music of Camille Saint-Saëns. In a delightful salute to feathers, fur, and fins, Circa’s acrobats bring this classical music suite to life for a new generation of circus, music, and animal-lovers. A work of sophisticated and delightful family entertainment, it is both contemporary and old-world while it amazes, amuses, and uplifts.

Topics: Gill Landry, interviews, Modlin Center, music, Old Crow Medicine Show, RVA

Gill Landry has been hanging around the music business for nearly 20 years, most of those years spent with the influential and wildly popular Americana group Old Crow Medicine Show, which started in the heart of Virginia. The multi-instrumentalist quickly became a stand-out at Old Crow shows, and with the start of his solo career in 2007, he’s shown that his deep appreciation and understanding of the folk genre makes him able to write new music in the genre that’s just as intricate and exceptional as the genre was forty years ago.
