Bring the whole family for an afternoon of imagination, movement, and awe with Cirque Us Stories—a joyful, high-flying performance where storytelling leaps off the page and into the air.
This thoughtfully curated show weaves together themes of community, identity, and creativity through breathtaking circus arts, featuring aerialists, jugglers, acrobats, contortionists, clowns, and more. Each moment unfolds like a storybook brought to life—full of surprises, humor, and heart.
Perfect for the young—and the young at heart—this family-friendly experience doesn’t end when the curtain falls. Stay after the show for a special hands-on workshop/masterclass, where audiences can engage more deeply with the artists and explore the movement and skills behind the magic.
