Currently running in the streets of\u00a0DUMBO, Brooklyn,\u00a0THE CIRCUIT\u00a0transforms the neighborhood into a pulse-driven world of\u00a0dance, theater, and nightlife, where audiences move alongside performers through a visceral,\u00a0site-specific theatrical experience.<\/p>\n

Audience members are given wireless headphones upon arrival and move alongside the performers. Through the headphones, they hear a fully pre-recorded audio experience: spoken dialogue, internal monologues, and an original EDM score with original sound design. This audio is transmitted exclusively to the audience – only they can hear it. While the story is delivered through the headphones, everything they see is told through dance, with a theatrical contemporary movement language driving the storytelling in real time.<\/p>\n

Dancers and performers lead the audience from location to location – through cobblestone alleys, storefronts, and beneath the Manhattan Bridge skyline – so the audience is continuously walking through the work as it happens.<\/p>\n

The experience creates a split reality: a private, intimate listening experience inside the headphones, set against a public city environment where passersby witness a group moving through DUMBO in real time. Language exists in the headphones; physical storytelling exists in the space around them.<\/p>\n

Co-directed by\u00a0Josh Zacher\u00a0and\u00a0John Kroft,\u00a0choreographed by Josh Zacher, written by\u00a0Connor Wentworth,\u00a0with original score and sound design by\u00a0Jacob Ryan Smith\u00a0and associate sound design by\u00a0Anna Tobin,\u00a0THE CIRCUIT\u00a0dissolves the boundary between spectator and participant.<\/p>\n

Now playing through\u00a0June 29, 2026. Opening night was held\u00a0May 21.<\/p>\n
