Circus of the Self
by Lucy Eden?Directed by Elizabeth Dinkova
Sunday, October 5 @ 5pm
Thursday, October 16 @ 8pm
"While balancing a knife on her nose, she twerks. While catching a ball on her foot, she puns. While jumping rope on a unicycle, she prompts us to clap to the tempo."
A revealing personal narrative, paired with high stakes circus stunts, this one woman show about growth, failure, fear and the trans experience is not to be missed. Lucy Juggles shows us how she discovered her own resilience, and the important roles community and trust have in shaping our lives in this special one hour adaptation of Lucy's show, Circus of the Self, which debuted at World Pride in Washington D.C. this summer.
"Her gregariousness is infectious; she blithely elicits our response in vocalization and applause, and we readily oblige. She has us in the palms of her exceedingly dextrous hands." -John Stoltenberg / DC Theater Arts
"[Lucy's] extensive background busking has evidently honed an uncanny talent for connecting with an audience -- a transcendent experience not to be missed." -John Stoltenberg / DC Theater Arts
As a full time street performer, circus performer and comedy juggler in The Bay Area, Lucy's shows are a blend of technical skill, personal narrative, knives, and yelling. This is a show you won't want to miss.
