Acrobatic Conundrum, a virtuoso ensemble of circus artists, will present “The Circus of Second Chances,” at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 15, at Open Space for Arts & Community — a show not to be missed by thrill-seeking audiences on Vashon.
Ensemble members Emma Curtiss, Melissa Knowles and Terry Crane will perform astounding circus stunts throughout the 85-minute, family-friendly show, including rope acrobatics, Cyr wheel spinning, hand-balancing, clowning, and another unexpected and tasty feat — baking lemon bars mid-air.
Curtiss and Crane are no strangers to Open Space.
They have collaborated with UMO Ensemble members in various productions and performed at UMO’s Open Air festival over the last decade. Along with the show’s audio and design designer, Max Sarkowsky, who grew up on Vashon, they count the island as an important creative stomping ground.
Though the troupe has performed this piece more than 40 times in far-flung venues in Manhattan, Boston, and across the Puget Sound region, this will be the first time they mix together these particular theatrical ingredients on Vashon.
