Like that daring young man on a flying trapeze...
Check out this aerial performance, I Hate You, a Love Story, this weekend (June 15) - July 1st at the Brava Theater in the Mission. Seats are way cheaper than Cirque du Soleil, but the concept sounds similar. Along with the trapeze act, there will be juggling, hand-balancing, contortion, body percussion, and acrobatics.
With a dark comedy story line about a teenage circus performers trying to figure out love, what else could you ask for in a circus? Maybe an elephant or two?
