2026 Philly Fringe lineup just announced! Tickets are on sale now.
In 2026, what animals are dependent on us? What plants, diseases, rocks, have been displaced due to human intervention, to find a life they would never have had before? What happens to all of this, the world that we feed off of, when there is nothing left for us to take? Animals, plants, insects, and all life will find a way to move on, but what will that look like?
"Earthborn" is a 45-minute contemporary circus exploration of the passage of time. We watch as nature evolves to overcome the prior existence of human beings and the effect they had on the Earth. Through aerial and ground-based apparatuses, acrobatics, and more, the ins and outs of this changing environment will be explored. Come discover this world alongside us, that differs from the way we know it, as fellow Earth-born beings.
