El Circo Cheapo Cabaret
Source: http://www.elcircocheapo.com
7pm and 10pm | $10 (or $5 if you can do 5 pull ups)
Aloft is welcoming interested circus artists from all over to come share our stage. The main purpose of this show us purely one of self-interest. You see, good performance footage of a circus act is awfully hard to come by, so by having a cheap show we can get a fun supportive audience in to clap and cheer as we film our acts to use for promoting ourselves to agents and clients. You never know what you’ll get at the cabaret…you might see 5 silks acts from 5 different companies, or you might see a 6-year-old Russian trapeze artist, or an inner-city juggling superstar from the Chicago Youth Circus, or someone trying their act in front of an audience for the first time and asking for feedback, or someone who has done their act so many times they’re going to try it blindfolded this time. Who knows, but for less than $10, you can’t beat it!
