Circus Scorpius

Join us tomorrow night for another Second Saturday! The unbelievably bendy Tyler will be debuting a brand new contortion solo. Afterwards, stay for snacks, games, and conversation.

Hope to see you there!

'Désolé' is now a week gone, but I am already missing its brief run. I'm looking forward to creating more art.

MEET THE CAST: Eliana

After graduating from Smith College and working in Washington, DC, she shifted to circus full-time, co-founding Constructive Interference and performing with other companies such as Arc Benders Circus Opera.

In ‘Désolé,’ Eliana plays the role of Sierra, Louis’s partner, who does all that she can to connect with Louis as they try to withdraw inside themself.

MEET THE CAST: Carina

“I enjoy connecting with people through art - surprise, lol. The power of art, to me, is that it can create a powerful shared experience between strangers that can collectively remind us of our shared vulnerability and humanity. This feels very important, especially during this time when empathy feels like a taboo thing to possess.” - Carina Gillet

Carina is an international, multidisciplinary circus artist and coach specializing in partner acrobatics, mixed aerials, and interdisciplinary creation. Performing professionally since age seventeen, they have worked across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the UAE with numerous companies. This marks their third production with Circus Scorpius.

In ‘Désolé,’ Carina plays the role of Louis Dapper, a character whose depression and suicidal ideation fracture their relationships and spiral into isolation.
