Look up! Philadelphia School of Circus Arts transforms the regions skyline into a dazzling flight back to 1900s Paris. Fly with the Green Fairy as she presents aerial and acrobatic feats, plus comedy, juggling and spectacular physical skills.
In the early 1900s, Paris sparkled with five permanent circuses. Night after night, artists watched the shows and mingled after hours with the jugglers, saltimbanques, clowns, harlequins and acrobats who virtually embodied artistic risk. Painters, sculptors and circus artists challenged the status quo by redefining the limits of human possibility. The popular and controversial drink absinthe (nicknamed the Green Fairy) was rumored to push these limits even further. The regions top circus artists will take you on a trip to this creative and socially volatile period with a dazzling and comical performance with fabric (tissu), aerial ladder, trapeze and acrobatics, all performed overhead at Philadelphias most breathtaking rooftop spaces, the Kimmel Centers Hamilton Garden.
The daytime show is family-friendly for children of all ages. The nightly show has its own special rewards, including a special Green Fairy Absinthe Bar.
