People’s Circus Theatre returns to the Children’s Creativity Museum with the world premiere of their new production, “The Nightingale.”
In the forest on the outskirts of a small town, there lives a magical Nightingale whose song can stir even the hardest of hearts. When the Emperor learns of this rare creature, he is determined to capture her. Can the Nightingale be replaced by a Mechanical facsimile?
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale, “The Nightingale” is an epic love story that speaks to the most pressing issues of our time through a compelling mixture of acrobatics, aerial arts, and timeless storytelling.
