SUMMARY:Performance\, Entrapping Our Abundance: A Circus Production Exploring the Southwest's Climate Realities
DESCRIPTION:ENTRAPPING OUR ABUNDANCE is Wise Fool New Mexico’s original production debuting mid-April in Santa Fe. This powerful\, circus-driven performance explores the climate realities of the Southwest through aerial arts\, acrobatics\, and striking visual storytelling. Featuring a cast of professional circus artists and the return of our towering 20ft free-standing aerial truss\, the show brings gravity-defying performance into a story about the landscapes we call home. \nIn our 23+ years of operation\, we have experienced the impact of Social Circus as a powerful agent for social change\, to educate\, and to raise awareness. This circus production will act as a vehicle to communicate the expansiveness of the environmental disruption in the Southwest from massive wildfires\, water shortages\, and the greed for natural resources that continuously infringe on native lands. Be inspired by our stunning cast of aerial performers\, acrobats\, and jugglers as they travel across the beautiful Land of Enchantment and preserve its precious resources.
