Video: FLIGHT Pushing New Territory in Acrobatic Theatre Off-Broadway

Cirque du Soleil isn't the only circus making a foray into theatre this year. Curbside is on the cutting edge of acrobatic theatre in the United States, taking trends in European circus to a new stage with 'Flight' an acrobatic retelling of the classic story The Little Prince. 'Flight' "makes ingenious use of three actors' bodies" (NY Times) as we bring circus into storytelling in a way rarely seen on a New York stage.

In 'Flight' there is no distinction between the story and the acrobatics, as they seamlessly blend together to create 50 minutes of "pure enchantment!" (Nite Life Exchange)

After critically acclaimed runs at the Edinburgh & New York Fringes, 'Flight' plays an exclusive engagement at the Barrow Street Theatre from September 24-30th.
