We strive to give opportunities to emerging circus performers that haven’t yet broken out into the professional performing space yet. The event is run at Altiora in the arts centre and is a “dinner and a show” vibe. Bring in food from the arts centre food trucks, enjoy the bar while acrobats serve you drinks, view stunning roving performances pre show and during intermission.
