Information

Cirque Us Stories follows three characters who start off set in their ways, afraid or unwilling to step outside of their comfort zone. As the story unfolds, each character has a moment of bravery where they must learn from someone who is different. By the end of the show the characters come together and learn that to succeed we must learn from those different than us, work together, and that we are strongest as a community.

Featuring hand-balancing and contortion, juggling, jump rope, character work and more, the performance features the unique use of ensemble circus work and theatrics not often found in today’s circus shows, demonstrating how work is created and suitable for young audiences, but how athleticism and artsiness can appeal to all ages. Ending with an inclusive workshop that demonstrated the teaching styles of our artists, it also shows how circus arts are able to unite communities.
