who are you? and what do you want?

you want to fight it or fuck it, eat it or own it…
we know because we do too; we are like you

in our circus artists are exploring ‘desire’ through action, performance,
object and image. they delve into our internal trinity of conflict between ego,
super-ego and id in the age of consumer culture

when a fantasy realized is a wish coming true, it is worth remembering that
Chuckles the Clown died when an elephant sat upon him

Sleepy neighbors who don't appreciate the ups and downs of good art and dance music have forced us to change the location of the upcoming Circus of Desire happening. We have two good locations which we are 99 % sure to use so please don't come buzzing our poor neighbors senseless next Friday.
