UniverSoul Circus

October 2 - October 19

UniverSoul Circus blends jaw-dropping stunts, music, dance and cultural performances performed by flying acrobats, fire breathers, stilt dancers and the coolest clowns around.

This fall presents the new Rhythm of the World production, featuring R&B, Latin, hip hop, jazz, gospel, pop and world beats music by a diverse cast of performers, representing five continents.

New acts include a vertigo-inducing Ethiopian Pole Act featuring dizzying spins and poses on a towering vertical pole; along with Power of Love, a unique and graceful ballerina act. Audiences will also be amazed by Kefeni, an awe-inspiring contortionist who bends in ways most humans never could, and the Morning Doves – an aerial lyra duo from Mongolia and Ethiopia. Also new to the lineup is a high-energy, ultra-stylized roller-skating troupe with elite skaters from Cuba and the U.S.

Featured performers include the African Dream hoop divers from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; a stylized teeterboard act from Ethiopia; a strong-man hand-balance duo called Double Vision from the Dominican Republic; and a high-flying acrobatic act from Russia called Zhukau Swing.

Audience favorites are also returning, including the Caribbean Street Carnival, which features 20-foot dancing puppets, fire-breathing stilt dancers and vibrant folklore characters. The hip-hop dancing Fresh the Clowns will have the crowd dancing, while the daring Wheel of Death stunt artists will keep everyone on the edge of their seats as they perform heart-stopping flips and dives 60 feet in the air.

Tickets start at $25 and are available at Ticketmaster.com.

Performance times are 7 pm on Thursdays and Fridays; 12 pm, 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm on Saturdays; and 12 pm, 3 pm and 6:30 pm on Sundays.
