The circus is coming to town! The circus is coming to town! No elephants, no lions and no bears, but lots of stunts, contortion and aerial arts. And for the those who aren’t content watch from the bleachers, there are classes for kids leading up to the show.

The Circus Is Coming to OmCulture in Wallingford!OmCulture is located at 2210 N. Pacific St, just above the Burke Gilman. Here’s a taste of what you’ve got in store (e-mail readers, click through to the web site to watch):
The Vespertine Circus is inspired by the Golden Age of traveling, family-based circuses. They mix the aesthetic stylings of Dr. Seuss with Comedia Del Arte infused clowning. Sure to delight audiences of all ages, they mix comedy, stunts, acrobatics, puppets, juggling, contortion, hoop-dance, aerial-arts, and storytelling in a mess of wild rabblerousing and outlandish shenanigans.
Pay-what-you-will show on Saturday, July 21, 7:30pm. Prior to that, a special chance to learn circus arts from the performers themselves! Two workshops: Kids age 6 – 12, Friday 7/20 at 4pm; teens and adults, 7/21 at 2 pm. Reserve your spot here.
The whole circus weekend will be the culmination of a FREE, week-long preview of OmCulture’s own after-school arts program, starting in the fall, for kids 8-14. Come Monday through Thursday afternoons, July 16-19, for FREE yoga, dance, circus arts, or martial arts workshops. Click for details on what’s offered on which day.
Vespertine Circus says: As performers, we are moved to attempt seemingly impossible feats, in the hopes that we may challenge what you believe is possible in your own life. More than a touch otherworldly, we’re the kind of circus you wanted to run away with as a kid.
