Now that Cleveland’s variety circus company Wizbang! Theatre has its own facility in Cleveland Heights, it can do things like it’s doing this weekend: present other companies and performers. It will be welcoming Boston-based six-performer ensemble Cirque Us for four performances of RagTag: A Circus in Stitches.
The ensemble’s mission statement says, “We believe in spreading circus magic through both a performative and educational lens.” They do so by producing full-length original shows, as well as workshops and camps, similar to what Wizbang! does.
Their description of their current touring show asks, “Have you ever stopped to think about the threads which make up the fabric of everyday life? How sometimes they feel so perfectly knit together, while at other times they feel more like a tangled web of knots? Every fiber has a source, but what prevents it from completely unraveling? Woven together, these loose ends create a new story.”
“You’ll be entwined with our group of mismatched artists as they stitch together a tapestry of talents,” they explain. “This show features high-flying, knot-tying, gravity defying aerialists, loopy jugglers, musicians that pull at your heart strings, and comedy that will leave you in stitches.”
The show is suitable for all ages. General admission tickets are $15. Get them here.
