In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Sarasota’s Circus Arts Conservatory (CAC) has found a way to evolve and present an international show: virtually streaming live! During its first-ever virtual presentation, “One World Circus,” a cast of international circus artists will be featured in a charitable performance benefiting the circus arts. Donations will be encouraged; proceeds will support CAC youth programs and the ability for future generations to build their own life skills through the circus arts.
CAC founders Dolly Jacobs and Pedro Reis and fifth-generation circus artist and Cirque du Soleil coach Miguel Vargas have collaborated to select a cast of renowned circus artists from around the world. The resulting global cast has perfected their art form through years of training and performances with some of the world’s most prestigious circuses and festivals will perform LIVE from Brazil, Hungary, France, Netherlands, Sarasota, Fla., Las Vegas, Nev., and Salt Lake City, Utah. All of the circus artists are donating their performances.
Ringmaster is Joseph Bauer Jr., hosting from the Sailor Circus Arena here in Sarasota. Acts will include aerobatics (Duo Transcend), an amalgamation of juggling and tango (Juggling Tango), hand-to-hand acrobatics (The Kolev Sisters), an aerial act (Olga Coronas), plate-spinning comedy (David Burlet), knife throwing (Deadly Games) and the Circo Portugal Globe of Death Riders.
One World Circus will be streamed live on Sunday, May 31 at 2:00 p.m. EST. To access the streaming video, sign up for free as a VIP at CircusArts.org/OneWorldCircus.
