City Circus returns to Brava with an electrifying, thought-provoking original production by Tim Barsky and friends about the adventures of love, magical elements, and the circus.

This spring City Circus premieres ECHO’S REACH, an imaginative new production by Tim Barsky that reunites him with circus performers from City Circus/Acrosports and a top-notch group of collaborators in urban music, hip-hop dance, and aerial acrobats. The production employs a new, thrilling hybrid performance style called Urban Circus Arts – a genre unique to City Circus – which crosses traditional circus arts (acrobatics, aerial acts, and contortion) with contemporary city-born forms (breakdancing, parkour, beat boxing, and hip-hop theatre).
