A visually dazzling, high-energy circus spectacle that transforms a mythological fall into a whimsical journey through a fantastical realm of acrobatic wonder.

Icarus is the main character of Varekai, who falls to the ground, breaking his legs as he does. He is suddenly in a strange, new world full of creatures he has never seen before. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary.
