IN the Round is a dance theatre show choreographed by Luca Vaccari and Yuxi Jiang.

It premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024 to critical and audience acclaim.

Tonight it presents its final show at Crediton Arts Centre - and there are still some tickets available.

Luca Vaccari grew up in Crediton and began performing with Crediton Youth Theatre and QE Theatre Academy.

After studying dance and choreography at Falmouth University, Luca continued to develop his practice in Germany and Scotland.

It was in Edinburgh that he met Yuxi Jiang, a dance PhD student originally trained in Chinese traditional dance.

Together they formed Yucca Dance and co-choreographed In the Round.

“Within circles, everything is interconnected—mirroring our modern lives: a labyrinth with no clear exit, direction, or conclusion. Yet through other lenses, circles hold new meanings.”

In the Round weaves a rich cultural tapestry, blending Chinese traditional dance with Western contemporary movement. The piece features music from Japanese art-pop duo dip in the pool, alongside dance film and verbatim sound in 24 languages.

Yucca Dance was supported by the Keep It Fringe Fund and a successful crowdfunding campaign—many of the donors coming from the Mid Devon community.

Luca said: “We have a few tickets left for our FINAL show tonight!

“We had an absolute ball last night with a stellar audience! Don't miss this Crediton!”

The Show begins at 7.30pm.
