One man, standing on another man’s shoulders, serves as a third man’s perch. When this human tower topples,
all three hit the ground in perfect rolls. The Australian troupe Circa (above, in “Humans”) tilts acrobatic
daring toward thematic dance theatre, often with canonical classical music. In “En Masse,” in Lincoln Center’s
White Light Festival, at the Gerald W. Lynch, Oct. 23-25, the music is Schubert lieder and “The Rite of
Spring.” The performers climb upon and hurl one another through the end—and the beginning—of humanity.
