The Circus Is Coming To Wilton

WILTON, CT — The circus is coming to town.

Stars Above, which bills itself as "a modern take on the nostalgic small touring circuses from two hundred years ago," will be in Wilton Aug. 27-29.

Acts will include aerialists, jugglers and at least one clown, based upon the troupe's website. Set to original music and reimagined cover songs, Stars Above "is a fresh take on the nostalgic small touring circuses from two hundred years ago" and "centers around a day in the life of a traveling family troupe. Combining elements of contemporary and classical circus, Stars Above explores the connections to our loved ones, community, and the things we have lost."

The 90-minute performances are being sponsored by Wilton Parks & Recreation. Tickets and the daily schedule are available online.

Stars Above is produced by Hideaway Circus, a Brooklyn-based circus, dance, and multi-media company. The company’s original theatrical productions include the two-time Drama Desk nominated dance show Beyond Babel and the "genre-defying slasher circus show," Slumber.
