The young performers have been captivating audiences at the JKU Circus of Knowledge since opening night on June 22. Under the direction of HELIX projects director and dancer Christine Maria Krenn (who also created "Fascination Octopus" and "Fascination Jellyfish"), audiences can experience musical dance theater at its finest, featuring breathtaking imagery, impressive dance choreography, a touch of humor, and fascinating stories about our oceans. The performance is based on a new book by Michael Stavarič and Michèle Ganser.
