“Damn everything but the circus! The average painter, sculptor, poet, composer, playwright, is a person who cannot leap through a hoop from the back of a galloping horse, make people laugh with a clowns mouth, orchestrate twenty lions”…..E.E. Cummings
The “Journey to the Rainbow” under the Big Top was adorned with all the dazzle, glamour, illumination and sparkle you would hope to see in a circus extravaganza….even the cotton candy lit up like Luna Park. The Big Top was also full, (and I mean every seat in the house) of excited anticipation of what to expect from magic of the performances from the US premiere of Circus-Roncalli, an idea born back in the 80’s by pop icon Andy Warhol.
The Circus-Theater Roncalli brought from Europe is a once in a lifetime wondrous adventure of acrobatics, stunts, tightropes, dancers, jugglers, clowns, music, and magic with a new spin on the traditional circus. On the celebration of its 46th year, The Big Apple Circus featured diverse and spectacular entertainment including: tightrope walker Goeffrey Berhault, Duo Another Love, aerialists that tell their love story through their performance, Trio Confido the enchanted statues, Clown OriolO who makes people smile all over the world, Andrey Romanovsky the flexible man, father and son clowns duo Paquin and Angelo, clown Devlin Bogino, and a barrage of others all gifted in their craft.
The performers all dare to inspire. The atmosphere and circus vibe is full of wonder like the eyes of a child where everything is new and beautiful and magical. The clowns showcased a range of emotion from humor to laughter to chaos. Although there was no “Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages”….the vaudeville type acts inspired a nostalgic quiescence and still remains one of New York’s most cherished attractions. It’s a great way for a family ranging from child to grandparent to enjoy each other while enjoying a show great for any age….
