ASTREA
A theatrical LED circus show & a mythical tale of hope
Using circus, theater & colors as symbols,
Astrea is a LED performance show, a visual feast & an epic adventure
About this LED Circus Show:
Inspired by the greek myth of Astrea, this LED Performance Show explores the human condition & humanity’s potential through the lens of myth. Full of meaning but without words, the story unfolds through a ceaseless chain of action packed events, never allowing even the youngest of spectators to lose interest. By blending ancient & modern, theater, dance, circus, martial arts & state of the art LED technology, Astrea tells an inspiring story;
it’s our story & each of us has a role to play.
This summer, we reinvented the show as an intimate and powerful duo performance. This new version deepens the narrative through mesmerizing interactions between the artists and our signature programmable LED arch, while its ground-based format makes it logistically more accessible and affordable.
The reimagined show made its successful debut on September 26, 2025, captivating the audience with its new vision. Keep an eye out for a new promotional video, coming before the end of 2025, to experience the magic of the new ‘Astrea’.
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE SHOW
By working together towards a common vision, humanity can overcome the challenges of our time to create a brighter future.
Humanity has jeopardized its environment to the point of catastrophe. Each of us faces an urgent choice: Do we live & act to please ourselves, without regard for others & the environment or do we live with & act for the good of all?
From a utopian vision of the past, through the current crisis & on to a brighter future, Astrea explores this central moral problem in dramatic & visually stunning ways.
The show suggests that a leap of compassion, solidarity & collaboration is necessary if we are to become the custodians (& not the destroyers) of life on earth. The show goes further to marvel at the limitless potential of a united humanity & our destiny amongst the stars.

A WORD FROM ASTREA’S CREATOR SRIKANTA BAREFOOT
It is clear that humanity is at a crossroads and must make a crucial choice. A choice that will have either positive and lasting consequences or potentially devastating ones.
I aimed to create a story that inspires a better future for humanity, highlighting that the power to shape it lies within each of us.
Crafting a story without the use of words while keeping politics out of it, required a lot of reflection. I had the additional goal of keeping the show action packed & visually stunning in every moment so that even the youngest viewer could enjoy the show. By using a kind of color puzzle as a symbol, focusing on the human condition & celebrating the beauty this life & planet have to offer, the story of Astrea found its way.
