A Circus Show about Longing and Belonging

Three veteran acrobats chase wonder, redemption, and the impossible—blurring reality and
imagination. Leveraging their long running friendships with each other, Emma Curtiss, Melissa
Knowles, and Terry Crane put all their talents and quirky craftiness into this dada circus romp.
They climb, cavort, invert, revert, and subvert in a capricious acrobatic tale for the ages.
Featuring rope acrobatics, Cyr wheel, handbalancing, live baking, and clown.

Join us for a talkback on the company’s creative process after the show, led by Acrobatic Conundrum’s Artistic Director, Terry Crane.

“Anyone looking for a unique theatrical experience, featuring a masterful group of artists who
trash formulaic and traditional methods, and take astonishing physical risks with precision,
narrative, and perception, must see this extraordinary company perform.” — Judy Finelli

Cast & Creative Team:

Emma Curtiss,
Melissa Knowles
Terry Crane
Music written and performed by Kamila Nasr
