BOOM! breathes new life into the ancient tradition of masked theater, full of spontaneous improvisations with the audience, heart-touching drama, impossible skills and hilarious moments of sheer humanity. Peter Sweet and David Poznanter portray a cast of 6 characters who put on an entire circus, complete with slackrope, Cyr Wheel, juggling and live music.
BOOM! combines the spectacle and excitement of a circus show with the intimate connection of a theatre piece bringing the audience along for a ride that includes both delicate silence and raucous enjoyment. Join us for a show unlike anything you’ve seen before!
