Circus Hephaestus in Chicago - January

[tarapeze]

So, I'm at the International Sports Training Camp in Pennsylvania, working at the trapeze rig here. One of my coworkers, Viktoria Grimmy, is an 18-yr old professional circus performer who does silks & hula hoop & handbalancing & contortion (her family's a circus, so she's been performing all her life).

She just got a part in this AWESOME circus/play that'll be running in Chicago in the late winter. The show's called Hephaestus (it's a re-vamped greek myth) and it looks like an incredible production. Juliana, that hand-balancer you love from Cirque, Olga Piekhienko, was in it the last time they put it on, though she won't be this time.

SO I'm planning to go see it during Jan-term! I'll remind everybody closer to that date, but I want to make it into a road trip and I thought circus people might want to come along!

If I'm in the country for Jan Term, I'd love to!

where is their tour schedule? i couldn't find the dates - but if they are in detroit or chicago, but more detroit, you guys could road trip and stay at my house - detroit's not a long drive from lansing. but it depends on when - so when?
