Cirque USA presents 6 different shows:
Rock The Big Top
Everything seemed larger in the '80s and we still can't get enough of the most colorful, wild and radical decade ever, an era that gave birth to the “power ballad” and made a lot of bands' careers happen in the mid to late '80s - bands like Bon Jovi, Poison, Kiss, Guns and Roses, Quiet Riot, AC/DC and many more. So we're going back for more and taking a trip down dayglo- colored memory lane. Crank up the Twisted Sister, put on your skinniest tie and meet us at a Rock the Big Top event! |
Cirque Odyssey
Featuring Hand-to-Hand Balancing, Spinning Cube, Power skips
and Contortionist, this high-energy production is custom
designed to fit any venue and theme, and perfect for audiences
young and old. Brought to you by Cirque USA, whose credits
in full-scale cirque production span the globe for over
20 years. Cirque Odyssey is a fast moving, high-energy
stage show that brings together a variety of different
elements, creating a contemporary production that pleases
the audience with its colorful creativity and cutting-edge
suspense. |
Electric Cirquit
A 45-minute production, this event explores advances in light
manipulation never before seen, featuring intelligent
lights, surreal black light, sparkling lasers, special
effects and computerized LED lighted costumes that react
in sync with fast and slow beats, creating dynamic spinning
and cascading effects for a unique visual experience
that is irresistibly hypnotic. The show’s futuristic
and edgy style, combined with astonishing cirque acts
performed to the pulsating and upbeat sounds of techno
and house music, make this one of the most original and
spellbinding productions on the market today. |
Cold Fusion
Themed as man’s triumph over extreme conditions, and
set to live snow produced by our snow machine, this impressive
two-hour performance uses the highest techniques of professional
figure skating, a fast tempo set to beautiful music, stunningly
colorful costumes and incredibly dynamic and physically demanding
circus acrobatics. In a frenzy of explosive movement and complex
skill, the skating and cirque acts blend seamlessly to form
a finely crafted show that uses the ice as a canvas for celebrating
life. |
Cirque Extreme
This 60 minute production will be non-stop, “in your
face”, exciting fun! With fascinating new interactive
entertainment acts including Trampoline Wall, German Wheel,

BMX and Breakdancers the audience will experience first hand
the high energy crowd motivating interactive fun. |
White
This is the story of the ageless struggle between good and
evil, love and hate, Hope and Fear, life and death. This
is the story of one woman’s powerful battle with
herself. Her struggle is long, and we see many facets
of it as she and the elements around her battle it out
but, as the drama unfolds and after much heartache and
hope, she manages to defeat the darkness of mortality
and come back to the joy and energy of life renewed,
surrounded by all that she loves and bathed in an everlasting
shimmering light. An eclectic mix of cirque acts intertwined
with modern jazz and ballet dance segments, this theatrical
production is an emotionally riveting masterpiece that
depicts the “ultimate fight”
with an eccentric yet deeply spiritual approach. |
