The Vampire Circus

Step into a world infused with the mystique of vampires through performances by acrobats, aerialists, contortionists, jugglers, illusionists and clowns — all with a dark twist.

This spectacle is a roller coaster of fear and fun, brought to life by Francisco Santos, a veteran performer from Cirque du Soleil.

Set in 19th-century Bohemia, Count Dracula devises a plan for world domination by opening a traveling circus with his gypsy bodyguards. This circus serves as the perfect disguise for his quest to travel unnoticed, initiate his reign of terror, and transform humans into an army of vampires for global supremacy.

Audience members will witness astonishing feats of Cirque acrobatics, humorous interactions, and captivating performances from contortionists, jugglers, and clowns. The illusions will take you on emotional journey filled with fear, joy, laughter, and wonder, with enthusiastic cheers for the “Mad Graveyard Clown.”

The 90-minute production infuses the styles of Tim Burton and Cirque du Soleil through theater, dance and gymnastics.
