See a circus that doesn't use animals

[Guest guest]

If you haven't been to the circus lately because you don't want to

support animal abuse, then check out Circo Zero - a nouveau circus

that doesn't use animals. Most " new " circuses choose not to use

animals in part as a protest against the exploitation of performing

animals, making it a fantastic form of entertainment that all animal

advocates can enjoy & support.

 

Circo Zero is one of the most unique nouveau circuses. Their

performances blend diverse media genres and art forms - from

peformance art and theater to dance and music - to explore profound

political and spiritual themes. In the absence of animals, they create

an intimate atmosphere that focuses more closely on the grace and

agility of the troupe's human acrobats, aerialists, dancers and

jugglers, who are able to express an amazing depth and range of

emotion through movement. Plus, you may not believe your eyes when you

see some of the dazzling physical feats they perform!

 

Circo Zero is performing February 17 through March 6 at the Dance

Mission Theater (3316 24th Street @ Mission) in San Francisco. Tickets

range from $10 to $15, and (aside from opening night) Thursday is

pay-what-you-want day. For tickets call 415-273-4633. Circo Zero deals

with some pretty serious issues (like war & atrocity). According to

their Website, the show may be " inappropriate for most children and

some adults " (though most other nouveau circuses are great for kids).
