Join the circus adventure when Colorsphere and Babysphere, two contemporary circus performances, come to Bradford, the UK’s City of Culture 2025.
Colorsphere is a story about exploration, change, and adapting to new environments. Follow four fearless explorers as they navigate a mysterious, ever-changing land inhabited by mischievous creatures who just can’t stop generating colourful balls. But when a new, colourful ball appears, disrupting the balance of life and starting an uncontrollable chain of transformation – the world of Colorsphere is flipped upside down.
Accompany the explorers on their expedition into a new reality where they must learn to adjust to unexpected circumstances. Colorsphere takes both young and old spectators on an exciting journey towards completely new dimensions, promising a magical and memorable experience for everyone.
Whilst Babysphere, is designed to stimulate sensory curiosity, provides a unique, shared experience that nurtures a sense of wonder and discovery in the very youngest audiences.
Babysphere is an enchanting, interactive performance created especially for babies and their caregivers. This gentle introduction to circus arts invites little ones to explore a world of colour, movement, and sound through soft, tactile objects and engaging visual elements.

Opus Company (opens a new window) is co-founded and directed by Kerttu and Adam Opus. Creating multidisciplinary work, they focus on contemporary circus, visual theatre and installation art. “Central to our artistic exploration is the concept of circus dramaturgy—an approach that delves into the psychological and emotional dimensions of the human experience. Our performances question the traditional confines of circus, exploring the realms of illusion and blurring the lines between what is real and what is imagined. By intertwining physicality, symbolism, and metaphor, we seek to unravel the complexities of the human condition.”
