Circus Luminous

"One of the most dazzling performances I’ve ever seen, homegrown or otherwise… (an) intricate, glorious production."  -Audience Member letter to the editor, Santa Fe New Mexican

Circus Luminous is an annual "new circus" extravaganza featuring breath-defying circus acts created and performed by a predominantly local circus, dance and musical cast. Circus Luminous has become a Santa Fe family tradition for Thanksgiving Weekend, playing to sold out audiences at the historic Lensic Performing Arts Center each year. Circus Luminous began in 2002 as a collaboration of Wise Fool New Mexico, The Lensic, Moving People Dance Theatre, and Bing!.
