A Girl in the Sky Productions is a contemporary circus company with roots in physical theatre. The company produces original works that integrate theatre, comedy, aerial, dance and acrobatic movement as the medium with which to examine the human condition and our place in the universe.
AGITS began in 2003 with a mandate to tell stories and unpack ideas where the circus technique was essential to the telling and understanding of what was being shared.
By using the visual impact of devised sculptural equipment and the counterpoint of the human form AGITS uses contemporary circus to illuminate human impact on the environment in The Gyre, a performance about the movement of plastic through the wind and water systems. AGITS performances paint stunning visual images, breathe life into characters and mythic archetypes and tell compelling and often humorous stories of human evolution. The company presents locally and internationally at festivals, galas and celebrations of art. Select credits include Nuit Blanche, Luminato Festival, Wild In The City (Evergreen), Shanghai Fringe Festival, Grassroots Festival, Virgin Records, Moisture Festival and CCAFT-Contemporary Circus Arts Festival Toronto.
