OUR STORY

The company brings its boundary-pushing productions to life in Off-Broadway theaters, regional performing arts centers, outdoor festivals, public parks, immersive pop-up venues.

Their groundbreaking live productions include the open air traveling circus shows Canvas Sky (2024) and Stars Above (2021–2023); Beyond Babel (2017–2021), a two-time Drama Desk-nominated dance work and New York Times Critics’ Pick; Reflex (2021–2024), a theatrical journey through 4,000 years of juggling history; and Slumber (2016–2017), a genre-bending slasher circus nightclub experience.
