Samson Y Hiss: POISON CIRCUS
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PianoFight San Francisco
(see times)
POISON CIRCUS is the story of a small dysfunctional circus family whose relationships quickly dissolve—with the help of a shocking runaway—into poisonous revenge and freak transmogrify. There’s Eubie, the former circus performer who’s trapped in the arms of a wheelchair and boiling with tyranny. Barbara, the estranged wife and ambitious newly crowned ringmaster. And Copeland, the son, the future star, the runaway. Things quickly get toxic when the circus sets off across the desert and a vengeful plot to poison the circus performers emerges. They’re innocent. They’re ripe. They’re easy targets. And so the poison flows with no end in sight. POISON CIRCUS is a musical tale of transmogrify—inspired by the novel Geek Love. When the lights go out and you find yourself with a new tail. What do you do?POISON CIRCUS will feature vocal operatics, an organ quintet, harrowing circus acts and live human mutations. It’s a world premiere. It’s toxicating.Starring:Nikola Printz, Mezzo SopranoRob Reich, Electric OrganAnd circus performers:Christine LeeRenee SedliarThis show is for all ages.
