Big Apple Circus makes a stop in Atlanta

Arts and Culture

From Hungary, the Quinterion Troupe demonstrates unparalleled power as sculpted men flip, throw, and catch a fearless maiden. Big Apple Circus brings "Legendarium" to Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park in Alpharetta Feb. 1 to 18, 2013.

“Legendarium’s” director, West Hyler, a Big Apple newcomer, is a Broadway veteran, having served as associate director for “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “Jersey Boys.”

Big Apple emphasizes human scale and feats and feels a bit old world.

Ringmaster John Kennedy Kane joined the circus at 18 and was quickly transformed into the fire-eating Kanen the Human Volcano.

The Acrobuffos, the husband-and-wife clown team, bring gales of laughter to the Big Apple Circus with their slapstick comedy.

From Bulgaria, Andrey Mantchev takes to the skies in a solo trapeze act of mid-air flips and jaw-dropping catches.

From China, the all-female Dalian Acrobatic Troupe performs perilous poses of superior synchronization on bicycles.

From Canada, Daniel Cyr spirals and spins around the ring in a steel hoop of his own invention.

From Russia, breathtaking duo Desire of Flight (Valeriy Sychev and Malvina Abakarova) defies gravity in soaring stunts on aerial straps.

From Argentina, Elayne Kramer astounds with a backbone as flexible as an archer's bow.

From France and the Netherlands, Emily and Menno van Dyke combine the dramatic passion of tango with rhythmic juggling for a dance of flawless coordination.

Jenny Vidbel exudes pure pride with her handsome horses, prancing ponies and perky pups in the Big Apple Circus. The traveling show returns to town this weekend after a two-year hiatus.
