Join us for the world premiere of Cosmic Tumbles, Quantum Leaps, performed by Nathalie Yves Gaulthier’s multi award-winning Le PeTiT CiRqUe® and created for the APS March Meeting 2023! Witness child-prodigy acrobats, cirque performers, and Team USA Acro Gold Medalists in action.
The brilliant performance explores nature through the convergence of physics and heightened artistry.
- Emergence and correlation, coming together to form the whole: sub-atomic particles form matter, grains of sand become dunes, stars cluster into galaxies.
- Quantum curiosities: a cat contorts into a box—at once awake and asleep—as entities entangle.
- Projectiles and spins: arcing across the horizon, exuding angular momentum as electrons, planets, and black hole mergers. Together, witness a festive celebration of what makes us who we are!
