Internationally acclaimed musical circus act
Les Parfaits Inconnus will make their NYC debut at Symphony Space on Saturday, January 7 at 11 am and 2 pm. Tickets: $17 ($14 for Symphony Space members).

In this New York premiere performance, the Just Kidding audience will witness a crazy adventure through the world of the circus, where comedy, acrobatics, balancing, cycling and juggling mingle with the festive rhythms of live, horn-driven live music. This seven-member, Montreal based cast has performed all over the world, including Brazil, Malta and Mexico, as well as at Disney's Epcot Center in Florida.

The scene for this production of "The Return (Le Retour)" is an abandoned lot on the outskirts of town, where a family of traveling circus performers stop and set up camp the way they always do, as part of their life on the road. One idle day, as the young bohemians are quietly keeping busy with small daily chores, they suddenly notice the unexpected presence of an audience fully determined to be entertained. With their performer instincts suddenly reawakened by this surprising visit, the traveling acrobats step up to the plate and showcase their multiple talents. Over the 70 minute performance these crazy characters will take the audience through a rock and roll atmosphere.

As general manager and founder (and bicycle acrobat) Sylvain Dubois notes, "the show features funky, horn-driven live music and constant motion. Exuding energy from start to finish, our performers love to showcase their physical and musical prowess. The audience is usually howling with pleasure and admiration."
