What
is the Accidental Circus you ask?
Well, that's easy! We are a Modern Medieval
Gypsy Caberet!
Led
by Ringmaster Paolo Garbanzo, The Accidental Circus
is a show containing amazing stunts, belly dancers, fire
eating, original music, juggling, acrobatics, contortionists,
aerialists, drama, comedy, music, and much more. Click
here to listen to our latest CD, "On
Fire and Covered With Spikes!"
The circus fills a stage with entertainment
all day long with a variety of shows set in a medieval
or renaissance theme (depending on your time frame), culminating
in one or two "spettacolo grande" (depending on what the
schedule calls for).
Our various smaller shows include:
- The Christopher the Afflicted contortionist show,
- the Paolo Garbanzo juggling and fire-eating Show,
- our belly dance show,
- musical performances,
- stunt and comedy shows,
and many others! Check out some
Pictures
from Past Shows!
Our main show, the Spettacolo Grande,
brings all our performers together for a grand show that
is not to be missed! Paolo, as the Ringmaster,
presents the best skills of the circus with intertwining
songs, dance, dramatic stunts, and
more than enough flair, bringing the fantasy of the traveling
performer to life!
We can also bring our skills to the Royale
parade, opening and closing gate if you wish.
Also during the smaller shows some of our members can
be interacting with patrons while not on stage.
At the end of the day (perhaps right after
the Spettacolo Grande) our world reknowne drummers
Daveed and Mab can lead a drum jam where we
encourage the patrons to play along (also the majority
of the circus either plays drums or a melody insturment).
After the jam we begin a parade with our patrons, lead
them to the gate (or to the market) and send them off
with memories of music in their hearts..
Our cast of characters have worked all over
the world performing with such acts as The Jim Rose
Side Show Circus, The Flying Karamazov Brothers,
Baraka Mundi (a nationally touring belly dance
ensemble), Suhaila Dance Company, Turku
(an international middle-eastern folk group), Zippo's
Circus, and many others. Also many of our performers
are masters of their art, teaching around America and
internationally at such notable places as Circus Space
in London, Scuola di Formazione di Arti Circensi (School
of Circus Arts) Turin, Italy, and many more.
