Circus Contraption: Show to End All Shows!
Posted by Marlow Harris under Art , Events , Music[2] Comments
Circus Contraption brings back its SHOW to END ALL SHOWS at Theo’s Chocolates in Fremont until May 31st. You can get tickets through Brown Paper Tickets, and it’s worth every penny. An incredible band, acrobats, dancers and sublime talent abounds.
The SHOW to End All SHOWS debuted May 2008 at Theo Chocolate in Fremont. A departure from Circus Contraption’s usual turn-of-the-century fare, The SHOW to End All SHOWS imagines a family-owned circus with all of the glamour and glitz of the 70’s and 80’s. The time, however, is now, or even slightly in the future, and the glamour shows signs of decay.
For ten years, Circus Contraption has been at the forefront of the modern circus movement. After six years at Sand Point Magnuson Park, Circus Contraption returns to its birthplace, Fremont, to transform the old Red Hook Brewery warehouse, (the south end of Theo Chocolate), into Seattle’s own alternative big-top. And for the first time, Circus Contraption is collaborating with a team of top-flight theater professionals: director Erin Brindley (a recent New York import), scenic designer Jennifer Zeyl, lighting designer Ben Zamora, and costume designer Christine Tschirgi.
See Schmootzie the Clod, Dexter Mantooth and Acrophelia in all their circus glory!
