Xahn is a breathtaking and urgent circus performance that brings the climate crisis to life through awe-inspiring acrobatics, aerial performances, and immersive storytelling. From rising waters and vanishing lands to scorching heat and the weight of waste, each act embodies the struggles and resilience of our communities, with a particular emphasis in the communities rooted in the Global South, the people most affected by climate change. With powerful visuals, evocative music, and a call to action, this show transforms the climate crisis into a gripping, emotional, and unforgettable experience. Will we tip the balance, or will we rise together?
