Jess Love: And the Little One Said @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 14 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!

Natalie Reckert: Selfie with Eggs @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 21 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If Kraftwerk made circus it would look something like this: comedy meets electro-robotic-vogueing in an epic feat of handstand endurance!

Natalie Reckert is a German hand balancer who loves to dance to electronic beats and read Wikipedia articles about load experiments. In her highly skilled one-woman experiment, she tests the limits of the body and the stability of quite a lot of eggs. Brilliantly absurd and totally unique.
