Featuring rope acrobatics, Cyr wheel, hand balancing, live baking, and clown

On a relentless quest for wonder, three veteran acrobats let their imaginations run wild to fulfill secret longings. Fluent in the language of circus, Acrobatic Conundrum’s principal performers melt the fourth wall and reveal their flaws and journeys to redemption. The audience plays a vital part in The Circus of Second Chances, in which ropes are dancescapes, trapezes are windows to the soul, and spinning hoops are portals to infinite possibility. In our homes we are out at sea, on our living room couch we find ourselves on an epic odyssey; so much rests upon the fate of a dozen lemons. Leveraging their long-running friendships with each other, Emma Curtiss, Melissa Knowles, and Terry Crane put all their talents and quirky craftiness into this dada circus romp. They climb, cavort, invert, revert, and subvert in this capricious acrobatic piece as they ask, “What does your heart wish for?”

Appropriate for all ages. 90 minutes with no intermission.

Performers: Emma Curtiss, Melissa Knowles, and Terry Crane

Music written and performed by Kamila Nasr
