Leaky Heaven Circus “...Anyone who shows up to experience the latest Leaky Heaven extravaganza is not only going to join this circus, but run away with it as well…Not only utterly original but perilously close to profound.” Outrageous, provocative and endlessly inventive, Leaky Heaven Circus has earned the admiration of critics and audiences alike for its witty and stimulating meld of circus and theatre. The award-winning company employs popular traditions and forms, such as clown, circus arts, melodrama and cabaret, as a vehicle to explore cultural, social and regional issues. Whether inspired by Shakespeare and classic parables, the animal kingdom or life itself, the end results are original multi-disciplinary spectacles for all ages that challenge the mind, fuel the imagination and celebrate the human spirit. Since its inception in 1999, Leaky Heaven has been committed to creating opportunities for trans-cultural expression and exchange through the development of inclusive, innovative and festive theatre works and practices. To this end, the company regularly participates in numerous educational and community-building initiatives, from training programs and projects for at-risk youth to collaborations with other arts and community organizations locally and abroad. |
