And if We Shadows – scenes from a circus life” is an urban circus arts performance with over a dozen aerialists, acrobats, contortionists and circus specialists (aged between 14-34) along with a live score by beatboxer Carlos Aguirre. The show, which can best be described Rent, but with a teenage circus angle, or as a homegrown handcrafted hip-hop version of Cirque du Soliel, also features legendary breakdancers Iron Monkey & Finesse.
Breathtaking aerial stunts, acrobatic routines innovatively utilizing everyday props, juggling, and cross-your-legs-that-looks-painful contortionists should keep both teenagers and adults out of breath and hands sore from clapping for the whole 90 minutes. Runs through May 25th with four performances weekly: Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 3pm and 8pm and Sundays at 3pm
