Marrying precision and poignancy, Alula Cyr's debut production Hyena celebrates female strength with awe-inspiring acrobatics and synchronised displays of sisterhood. An exciting whirlwind of women, wheels, circus, dance and song, Hyena features the worlds first all-female Cyr wheel trio.

Including never-before-seen set pieces such as the Cyr Ball, a ball ceated with all the wheels to form a sphere in and around which the trio perform, Hyena is the boisterous and playful culmination of three years' research into new ways of working with one of circus's fastest evolving disciplines.

Co-creator Lil Rice explains: "Hyena is a show about womanhood - it's about beauty, power and the thin line we walk between being a human and a wild animal. We wanted to make a show that would inspire everyone, particularly women and girls, to find their voices and stand together."

The title Hyena references the matriarchal social system of brown-spotted hyenas, which offered the company a reference point for the fierce and complex friendships formed between women that are explored in the show.

Formed in 2014 by three multi-skilled circus women, London-based Alula Cyr creates exciting modern work inspired by their shared obsession with the Cyr wheel and a passion to perform material with a message.
