The show, performed by Cirque Italia, combines traditional circus acts with new and unexpected media. It will be performed under the orange striped marquee set up in the parking lot at Sears.
Performances are Thursday and Friday at 7.30 pm, Saturday at 6.30 pm and 9.30 pm and Sunday at 5.30 pm and 8.30 pm.
“Cirque Alcatraz” is the story of two best friends accused of murder and forced to navigate the world’s most dangerous prison, populated by some of the world’s most dangerous — and talented — inmates and guards. The story is combined with aerial and acrobatic art, cabaret dancing, Broadway-style musical performances and comedy in an immersive experience.
“Cirque Alcatraz” is the latest production from Cirque Entertainment, the company that created the water circuses of Cirque Italia and the dark side of the circus world with Paranormal Cirque.
