ABCirque is set to bring the circus back to Brooklyn Children’s Museum on Saturday, Oct. 5, for a day filled with interactive performances and hands-on activities.
The contemporary circus company, formerly called The Muse, is known for its immersive shows that engage audiences in the narrative and break the fourth wall, according to a press release.
The main performances will take place on the museum’s rooftop, with interactive circus stations following each show on the second floor.
“The goal is to build a performance that was not simply about watching the magic unfold but to be part of the awe and wonder under the big top,” said ABCirque Director Angela Buccinni Butch. "We have very kinetic experiences watching the circus and it only seems right that the kids get to experience it for themselves after witnessing the magic of it all! We find the experience much longer lasting when they get to keep a piece of it all not only in their heart but physical memory as well."
The museum will be open from 10:00am to 5:00pm on Oct. 5, with performances scheduled from 11:30am to 12:10pm, and 2:30pm to 3:10pm, followed by 20 minutes of interactive circus stations.
Tickets are $15 for children and adults, $14 for grandparents and free for children under 1.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.brooklynkids.org/programs/brooklyn-circus.
