Galapagos Art Space presents Suspended Cirque in The 12 Acts of Christmas 12/19, 12/20
The 12 Acts of Christmas by Aerial Theater troupe Suspended Cirque quite literally takes holiday traditions to new highs at Galapagos Art Space. This fanciful new holiday show features ice maidens on a triangle trapeze, a ribbon dancing Nutcracker, ice-skating in mid-air, a live musical rendition of Sleigh Ride like you've never heard before, a drunken Sugar Plum, and even Santa on a unicycle.
Suspended Cirque is bringing their offbeat humor, artsy aerial flair, and playful sensibility to the holidays. It's time to explore this sometimes frantic, crazy, and most wonderful time of year from a different angle. Only a Scrooge wouldn't enjoy this festive celebration.
Suspended Cirque is a talented and experienced group of performers who have created a new genre of aerial theater, integrating breathtaking aerial acrobatics, music, dance, theater, and circus. They perform on traditional circus apparatuses as well as new and innovative aerial equipment such as frames, chains and chandeliers. They also sing, dance, and play a variety of instruments. The cast of Suspended Cirque include: Joshua Dean, Ben Franklin, Michelle Dortignac, Angela Jones, and Kristin Olness. Members have appeared on Broadway, at The Joyce Theater and Lincoln Center, and with such names as Twyla Tharp. They have also been featured on the Sundance Channel, Good Day New York, American Express, and are soon to be featured on NOVA. Reviews of the members include "powerful stage presence" New York Times, and "compelling images" Backstage.Galapagos Art Space
