An unforgettable and hilarious one man comedy circus show for the whole family
By Trail Arts Council
The Trail & District Arts Council and Rossland Council for Arts and Culture present Circus Incognitus, a one-man circus comedy show from Jamie Adkins, on Friday, April 24 at 6 pm in The Bailey Theatre as part of the TECK Family Series.
Enchanter of almost nothing, juggler of almost everything, Jamie Adkins performs astonishing and wacky acrobatic circus feats. Calling to mind Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton he heroically battles with everyday objects, always on the verge of disaster.
A story told with touching humor, witty tomfoolery, and no hi-tech distractions, Adkins’ acrobatic exploits astound the audience with only sounds and gestures as he performs both on the ground and on the slack rope! Adkins transforms the trivial into the extraordinary to create a new fantastic tale in this unforgettable, moving, and hilarious show.
Recognized as one of the most talented contemporary circus artists in Canada, Jamie Adkins has performed “Circus Incognitus” over 1,200 times across 27 countries. A renowned acrobat, juggler, and magnificent clown, Jamie Adkins began his career as a street performer continuing his apprenticeship at the Pickle Family Circus in San Francisco. Now living in Quebec, he is a former member of Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize with a unique style that faithfully and humorously conveys the essence of the ordinary man.
This show is 60 minutes and is suitable for everyone but created for children aged 4 to 17.
Tickets are $18 and are available online at purchase.trail-arts.com, by phone at 250-368-9669, and in person at the Bailey Box Office at 1501 Cedar Ave., Trail.
