Copenhagen Collective The Genesis
A breathtaking acrobatic show from the Copenhagen Collective is coming to London’s Peacock Theatre.
The Genesis is a high-energy contemporary circus experience that dives deep into human connection, resilience, and the power of unity. 17 world-class acrobats bring the stage to life, creating stunning visuals and intricate group formations that push the limits of movement. The Genesis is coming to London’s Peacock Theatre for an exclusive limited run from 3 September – 6 September 2025 and is sure to be an early highlight of the autumn calendar.
Exploring themes of group strength, community, and conflict, these world-class acrobats join together to shape an hour-long performance that meshes heartfelt storytelling performance with jaw-dropping acrobatic feats and movement. From an atmospheric stage - paired with beautiful original sound by Leif Jordansson and ethereal lighting design that aims to transport spectators to another dimension - the acrobats stack, tumble, and spin through a vast emotional landscape into a world of cooperation and understanding where true strength begins to emerge.
As the acrobats navigate an abstract emotional landscape, the group illustrates the transformative journey of human connection - the joy of finding collaboration, the acceptance of our reliance on one another, and the poignant realisation that as individuals we can only achieve so much alone.
With powerful female bases and gravity-defying male flyers, expectations are challenged and diversity in body, background, and artistry is celebrated. Audiences of all ages have laughed, cried, and leapt to their feet in appreciation.
