Circus for a Fragile Planet

The Lower Eastside Girls Club has brought ArtFarm's 'Circus for A Fragile Planet' to this year's Festival! 

ArtFarm is 'a unique blend of science and circus.'  This year's show is 'SUBMERGED', and ArtFarm tells us it delivers a powerful environmental message through acrobatics, stilting, juggling, dancing, music and physical comedy.

'Circus for a Fragile Planet' is a departure from the Festival's usual practice of only putting young artists on stage - but when the Girls' Club, our delightful and super cool neighbors, offered to bring a circus to the Festival!... well, it wasn't an offer we felt we had any business refusing.

To accompany the Circus - the Girls' Club is setting up a 'Green Midway' under their pink tent!  More on that to come...
