ÒThe Human Circus is
family-fun entertainment where humans do the tricks,Ó said Lisa Levinson,
co-founder & director of Public Eye: Artists for Animals. ÒWe are presenting an alternative to circuses that use
exotic animals like elephants, lions, tigers, bears, seals, and ponies because
of the documented abuse and lack of quality of life for these animals. The
Human Circus provides a glimpse into the history of the circus, how animals
became involved, and why we hope circuses evolve into animal-free experiences,
complete with an upbeat, surprise ending. ItÕs a perfect event for a Sunday
afternoon with the kids.Ó
Performers include Carmen
Martella III, master of ceremonies; OÕkeito Shortte, magician; Brian Eckenrode
and Tristan Bosna, jugglers; ÒTapaholics PhenomenousÓ (More Than 12 Steps),
dance company; ÒVersatile,Ó break-dance group; ÒSilent Majority,Ó mime Company;
ÒA Touch of Classics,Ó singers; Moonsong, storyteller; Philip Jacobson,
comedian/actor; the Human Circus band, and others.
