The Rejuvenary River Circus in Troy
Might be something both kids and adults will enjoy: This Friday during Troy Night Out, the Rujuvenary River Circus will be marching down River Street to perform on the block between 1st Street and State.
The circus is a production of the Hudson Valley-based Arm of the Sea Theater. Show blurbage:
This CIRCUS is an allegorical tale featuring gorgeous masks and puppet characters, a bio-morphic set design and live original music. The story follows Malakai, the River messenger and water carrier who travels between Mountain Peaks and the Deep Blue Sea. Along his journeys Malakai encounters a host of creatures, including a lyrical sea turtle, a fast-talking crow, a pair of industrious beavers, beds of filter-feeding oysters, and schools of migrating fish. Each animal offers insights into their particular role in a watershed's ecosystem services. When the old man falls ill his granddaughter Rachel must rise to the challenge and help restore her grandfather, the River, back to health.
The CIRCUS runs one hour in length and is ideally suited for family audiences. Production of the show was made possible with support from the Hudson River Improvement Fund.
Here's a clip of a performance. The masks and puppets do look beautiful.
The parade's at 6:45 pm starting in Monument Square, performance at 7 pm. It's sponsored by Tight Knit, the Downtown Troy BID, and Sweet Sue's.
