International Circus Act Performs at USU
Artists create scenes and stories, earthbound and in mid-air, through the art of juggling, dance and aerial performance as the Finnish contemporary circus group Circo Aereo performs Monday, Feb. 21, at Utah State University Kent Concert Hall.
“With skilled magical cameos, four Circo Aereo performers will create a half-circus, half-cabaret arrangement using music, props and costume changes for an unforgettable fantasy experience,” said Kristi Chester, publicity manager for Baylin Artists.
Circo Aereo will perform acts from its 2010-11 tour Espresso: European New Circus for the 21st Century.
“‘Espresso’ is a high speed ride through the labyrinth of the history of circus — the kind of voyage where one’s gaze can only grasp images, glimmers of light and movement,” Chester said.
The Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat provides a review of the company’s performance.
“‘Espresso’ is like a treasure chest full of the things of which circus is made, filled with beautiful sights, meticulous joint efforts and inventive surprises,” the Finnish newspaper’s review said.
Since 1996, Circo Aereo has performed at several renowned festivals and theaters in 30 countries around the world.
The performance at USU begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall in the Chase Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $8-$15 for reserved seating.
More information and tickets are available at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center, online and by calling 435-797-8022.
