Tetrasomia – The New Era in Circus ArtMaster trainer Lu Yi’s Circus of the Elements pushes human limits By Yafonne San Francisco’s beloved New Pickle Circus will unveil the wonders of Tetrasomia, a holiday extravaganza at Cowell Theater, to reveal a world where the human body confronts and transcends the natural elements of the earth, defying gravity to find beauty in feats of balance. Under the artistic direction of the famed Chinese circus star and master trainer Lu Yi, performers interpret the natural elegance of earth, air, fire and water in harmony and conflict. Indeed, Tetrasomia refers to ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles’ doctrine of the four elements, which interplay to produce a dynamic balance in the universe. |
