About the Show

Bindlestiff Family Cirkus presents this highly stylized visual and aural journey through the beautiful borough of Brooklyn, where citizens, civil servants, and visitors showcase individual artistry set against iconic landmarks.

Combining history, humor, and heart, this unusual ensemble fuses circus arts, original live music, industrial lighting, and live analog projections into intertwined vignettes. Each act takes us on a personal adventure with a unique visual approach, as individual residents of the borough magically seize opportunities to portray their personal stories. Together they fuel the furnace and stir the cauldron that is the energy, diversity, and beauty of Brooklyn.

Delightful, Ambitious, Quirky, Refreshing, Entertaining

See it if you'd enjoy circus acts on a small stage with wonderful live music and a troupe of performers who give it their all with some BKLYN history.

Don't see it if you are looking for a play with a plot. This is a series of acts that salute Brooklyn and provide a few local stories.

Delightful, Dizzying, Riveting, Masterful, Entertaining

See it if you like circus. 9 fabulous young acrobats make it look easy while miniature Brooklyn monuments twill & light up at the back of the stage.

Don't see it if you dislike loud noises that is sometimes music. This is not a play although it is certainly dramatic.
