The SHOW to End All SHOWS
May 16 - June 22 2008
Theo Chocolate, 3400 Phinney Ave N
Seattle WA
Yes, it's true. Circus Contraption is nearly ready to unveil a brand-new production: The SHOW to End All SHOWS.
A departure from Circus Contraption’s usual turn-of-the-century fare, The SHOW to End All SHOWS imagines a family-owned circus with all of the glamour and glitz of the 70’s and 80’s. The time, however, is now, and the glamour shows signs of decay. A sense of imminent destruction looms as things begin to go awry under the tent. The Ringmaster insists upon the willful denial of their world’s demise by not only his progeny, but also the audience. This twisted take on Americana tells the story of the show that must go on, despite all evidence that the show, and maybe even the world, will be extinguished before the closing act.
