Amazing acrobats, optical illusions, and cannon balls are just a few things to expect in this new family series produced by Kupferberg Center for Arts and Arts On Stage NY. Traveling troupes from vast corners of the world will fill your weekends with music, dance, theater, and circus acts.

Hailing from Kenya, Cirque Zuma Zuma will perform in Colden Auditorium on Februrary 24, 2019. Cirque Zuma Zuma is part high-energy dance act, part Cirque du Soleil, and part Harlem Globetrotters. The traveling acrobatic group was a former contestant on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and made it to the show’s semifinals. Their repertoire is fast-paced, full of acrobatic ingenuity, and will feature traditional African instruments and dances.

On March 23, 2019, the New Shanghai Circus will defy gravity and execute breathtaking feats as acrobats, jugglers and contortionists stretch the limits of human ability in a spellbinding show that draws upon 2,000 years of Chinese circus traditions. The New York Times has described the set as, “feats of circus art that reach literally breathtaking heights of skill.”

Straight from Latvia, B – The Underwater Bubble Show debuts at Kupferberg Center on March 29, 2019. Visually captivating and deeply moving, B is a musical fairy tale that transports audiences of all ages to an underwater world where one remembers that, with strength and perseverance, dreams can come true. Inspired by the famous troupe Cirque du Soleil, B features the latest laser technologies, snow cannons, optical illusions and many other surprises.
