BRATTLEBORO — Cirque Us, a Boston-based circus company, will be performing “RagTag: A Circus in Stitches'' at New England Center for Circus Arts (NECCA) on Thursday, Sept. 2.
“Join this RagTag group of thread-barren, yarn-spinning characters as they explore a new patchwork world,” as NECCA described the show in a news release. “You'll be entwined with their group of mismatched artists as they stitch together a tapestry of talents.”
Cirque Us, founded by NECCA graduate Doug Stewart, is a multifaceted circus company that produces and tours full length, original work, and provides educational resources such as workshops and camps to people of all ages and abilities.
It was founded in 2016 by a group of eight professional circus artists and friends who wanted to combine their unique voices to tell their own stories.
“RagTag: A Circus in Stitches” features six circus acrobats hailing from across the United States. The performers' collective resume includes not only NECCA but Circus Smirkus, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, AIDA Cruises, the Midnight Circus, Circus Aotearoa, and graduates from the National Centre for Circus Arts (London).
