Event WebsiteAbout
KALEIDOSCOPE is back! CIRCUS BELLA continues its 17-year tradition of bringing joy to thousands of children and their families in San Francisco and the Bay Area. KALEIDOSCOPE features a diverse 11-person cast of mostly Bay Area-based aerialists, jugglers, contortionists, and clowns - performing thrilling feats of balance and strength, demonstrations of grace and poise, outrageous humor and slapstick frolics. The show is directed and conceived by Abigail Munn (Circus Bella co-founder and director). Original music is performed live by the beloved 6-piece Circus Bella All-Star Band - led by master composer Rob Reich. Costumes by Autumn Adamme. The show is funded, in part by SF New Deal’s ENGY activation series as well as a generous partnership with the Crossing at East Cut. KALEIDOSCOPE is the perfect show for families and children of all ages, looking for a joyous holiday event that will stay with you all season and beyond. Let yourself be dazzled and join in the celebration.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
The Bay Area has a rich history of nouveau cirque, going back to the early era of the Pickle Family Circus. The tradition continues with charming Circus Bella, now performing in a 350-seat big top tent in San Francisco. It features original music played by its six-member band, and 11 performers, including lanky, rubbery clown Jamie Coventry, Natasha Kaluza and her amazing hula hoops, plus contortionists, jugglers and more.
