Every year the San Pancho Children’s Circus puts on a fabulous presentation at the Bodega Circo to show off their hard work and progress, while raising money to fund this dream come true that takes place in the Cultural Capital of the Riviera Nayarit.
Gilles Ste-Croix, co-founder of the Cirque du Soleil, is the founder and creative director of the San Pancho Children’s Circus. Together with his team he has prepared a brand new show that will take the stage March 22-25, 2017, with one presentation per night starting at 7:30 p.m.
The show is called “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” a concept inspired by the Shakespearean comedy of the same name. The theme involves wood nymphs and elves, with different artistic numbers interacting amongst themselves.
The 85 little but grand artists who are partaking in the production will present over 15 different circus acts. The story will be mostly pantomimed as opposed to verbal, so there will be a great display of costumes, masks, makeup, illumination and a mysterious aura.
