“This morning, 'round the cape at dawn,
some travellers sailed into town
with scraps for sale and the saddest songs
and a book of pictures, leather-bound, that
showed a whale with a tusk a meter long.
Well I asked the man who showed it me,
"What is the name of that strange beast?"
He said its name translated roughly to
He-Who-Easily-Can-Curve-Himself-Against-The-Sky.”
The Vespertine Circus presents:
high Tide
January 30 - February 2 at Z Space
From the creators of No Graves No Masters, HiNGE, and the Rocky Horror Circus Show, comes an all new circus production set on and in the perilous and wonderful depths of the sea.
Indie performing arts troupe, the Vespertine Circus, are widely known for their uniquely honed blend of theater, circus, and dark absurdist humor. They have become a Bay Area favorite over the course of the last ten years, continually experimenting with the breadth of possibilities present in interdisciplinary performing arts. This show is suitable for audiences of all ages and playing four times only in the beautifully intimate Z Space theater. We sincerely recommend you don’t miss it.
