CirqueLouis: The Circus Show
...with special guest Ben Sollee!
The circus is often a mystery and misunderstood. It must continue to evolve, to leave behind the ways of the past and make way for a better future. The modern circus is an arena in which all people, of all backgrounds work together. Every individual is honored for their unique talents and abilities, working together to create circus magic.
Come, discover the Cirque Side!
The Sunday Sensory Friendly Performance of CirqueLouis: The Circus Show is made possible with generous support from The Gheens Foundation.
A Sensory Friendly Show Guide is also available to provide a description of the props and overview of what to expect during the show. Please click on the link below.

CirqueLouis: Gravity’s Varieties
November 3rd and 4th Kentucky Center for the ArtsGravity reigns over the circus artists. Every action - a rise and fall.
The circus artists play their role for the public.
A challenge to break through limitations and find brief flight.
The public reacts to them as they respond to gravity’s harsh consequences.
It pushes back against every action at every moment.
A system ruled only by making the right choice at the right time.
Please note the November 4th, 2:00 PM event is a Sensory Friendly Performance.
VIP seating is located on the stage in close proximity to the performers. Patrons seated in this section will have limited opportunities to exit the stage during the performance, outside of an emergency situation.
