Cirque Le Masque

September 18 at 7:30 PM

Ticket Prices–$49.50, $42.00, $34.50, $27.00

Group Discounts will be available

The show begins with a young tourist, Moira, and a suitcase wandering through the crowd annoyed by the sounds of the big city. She proceeds to pack as the sounds of the jet liner will sweep her to her dream fantasy in Rio. She has always wanted to become a cirque, or a Rio performer and showgirl…We follow Moira on her arrival in Rio where the rhythms of Carnival excite, invigorate and enliven her. Through the magical and captivating aerialists, acrobats, comics and character performers, Moira sheds the weight of the world layer by layer.

Moira meets Terrence and Jen at the Carnivale and begins a journey to be something more than any of them could hope. All they need to find is the courage to change.

Join them on their trek into a world of spectacular artists defying the laws of gravity.

Live the wonder that is Carnivale…
