About the Show

In the moonlit glow of dawn, a young wanderer named Yoah descends from her aerial silks into a circle of Shinto spirits, made manifest as mysterious maestros of cirque! Hypnotic projections play in sync with the performers as they send juggling balls soaring, conjure confidence atop a tower of chairs and fling their glowing diabolos to the heavens in hopeful arcs of neon. Set to a dramatic medley of traditional Japanese drumming and thumping electronica, this wordless symphony of circus will dazzle your breath away.

Take a fun-filled field trip!

Student tickets: $2
Chaperone tickets: $5

There’s nothing like a live performance to celebrate your students’ creativity! At New Victory performances, dedicated Education staff and Youth Corps Ushers welcome groups into the theater, ensuring students, chaperones and educators feel comfortable and safe.

And the experience extends beyond the show on stage! Students can connect with the artists at Talk-Backs after every performance, and outside the theater, Partner Schools can engage with show-specific, ready-to-implement activities, unit plans, creativity pages, and FREE pre- and post-show Classroom Workshops.

New Victory is the best field trip we come on—so organized!
