GASHA
By CIRQUEWORK

From Cirquework, Japan’s cutting-edge contemporary circus company, comes GASHA — a bold and sensual exploration of identity, chaos, and transformation set against the backdrop of a near-future Japan.

The world of GASHA feels like stepping into a futuristic pleasure district: neon light, pulsing digital sound, and bodies of diverse origins gathering, clashing, and dissolving into one another. Traditional Japanese aesthetics flicker beneath experimental projections and electronic textures, creating a shimmering hybrid of nostalgia and futurism.

High-level circus artists bring their own kinetic languages — aerial, acrobatics, dance, object manipulation — all filtered through Cirquework’s unmistakably Japanese sensibility. Lighting carves shadows into sculptural shapes, while video and sound evoke dreamlike fragments of a world both familiar and destabilized.

GASHA is not a story, but an atmosphere — seductive, dangerous, and irresistibly alive. It is a vision of Japanese circus for the future: bold, borderless, and beautifully chaotic.
