Sarasota News Leader November 22, 2013 Page 128 CIRCUS SARASOTA KICKS OFF SEASON WITH NEW CIRCUS TROUPE Circus Sarasota is kicking off its 201314 season with an avant-garde circus troupe that is not only new to Sarasota but also making its debut on U.S. soil — Vague de Cirque, "a unique and interactive troupe" straight from Quebec, the organization has announced. Vague de Cirque features "stunning acrobatics, aerobatics and circus artistry masterfully intertwined with both music and comedy," a news release says. This up-close-and-personal circus arts experience will be offered at Westfield Sarasota Square Mall "in a quaint, boutique-style circus tent complete with cabaret-style seating" just outside Costco, the release adds. Shows are scheduled for three consecutive weeks, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Dec. 1. "We are dedicated to promoting the circus arts throughout our community, and Vague de Cirque is a real winner," said The Circus Arts Conservatory Co-Founder and CEO Pedro Reis in the release. Trapeze acts are featured in the Vague de Cirque shows. Contributed photo
