This company of young acrobats are trained by the inimitable Jessica Hentoff, who has created an acrobatic curriculum in her school. make all of us feel that they simply adore all of us and that when they look out into the audience or venture forth into it, they are looking out for individual fans to involve in the show.Īnother very good reason for rolling out the genuinely large and echoing cheers is for Circus Harmonie’s St. Louis Institution, talent and charisma and moxie are all parts of the magic puzzle that is Circus Flora, Stars such as Kuchler and Amy G.

It generally is recognized as entertainment but operates vigorously as parable. Yet on we go, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, perhaps reading Mother Julian of Norwich who promises “all will be well and all manner of thing (sic) will be well.” Or perhaps because for a few bucks we treat ourselves to the venerable theatrical tradition called circus.
We all are participants in a circus of sorts, strutting and fretting our individual convictions in a public mega-multi ring circus of sounds and furies that is ever more fantastic and bizarre, a grand guignol playing out under the tent of the sky, a performance fraught with irrationality and pocked with prevarications that once would have been regarded as too silly for fiction. No matter what position you stake out on the political see-saw, and no matter how hard you try to keep your balance, you need a circus in your life these days.
