BARKA, A Girovago Production
Saturday, November 29, 2025 – Kingston Grand Theatre
Acrobats soar through the air, dancers move with joyful intensity, and musicians fill the stage with the pulse of Afro-Colombian percussion and the soaring sound of Balkan brass. BARKA is a 75-minute multidisciplinary spectacle where circus artistry, live music, and dance intertwine in a celebration of life and resilience.
Created by Girovago — the team behind Montreal’s acclaimed Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra — the production places the audience aboard a metaphorical boat, journeying together through storms and celebrations. Guided by a narrator and fueled by infectious rhythms, the performance becomes both a feast for the senses and a parable about unity, freedom, and hope. Critics have called BARKA “fusion forward” and “a cause for celebration,” praising its delirious energy and kaleidoscopic blend of sound, sight, and movement.

Continuing our priority to make Grand OnStage performances more accessible to all, we offer a Pay What You Want program for select unique performances. Simply reserve your free ticket, attend the show, and consider making a voluntary payment after the performance that reflects your experience.
