Told through a narrative urban dance riff on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Beyond Babel, is described by the Hideaway Circus spokesperson as taking a contemporary look at the consequences of building physical – and ideological – walls to create division. The narrative follows two lovers fighting to connect as authorities raise a border that tears their families apart and forces their community to confront its diverging identities. Hideaway Circus’s Beyond Babel features a contemporary soundtrack and a set comprised of crochet art installations and backdrops.
