NEW YORK PREMIERE AT LINCOLN CENTER
OCTOBER 17, 2014 – JANUARY 11, 2015
For its 37th Season, Big Apple Circus soars on wings of artifice and illusion, to a
dreamscape domain where no one sits more than 50 feet from the ring, and nothing is
impossible! Big Apple Circus presents the New York Premiere of METAMORPHOSIS
under the Big Top at Lincoln Center on Friday, October 17th, 2014.
Appearing before your very eyes: The thrilling flyers of the trapeze, swooping and
swirling through circus skies! The razzle-dazzle of the rolla-bolla, an act that teeters right
on the edge of equilibrium! The dynamo of the diabolo, the whirling double–tops of the
Big Top! An aerial space-age acrobatic adventure — an ascent to amazement! The risky
rhythms of the Risley team, twisting and turning, topsy-turvy! The cadenzas of camels and
horses, and the exuberance of playful pooches, out to dazzle with delight! The cunning
conjurors of the quick-change act, defying belief and inspiring awe! The incredible
flexible limbs of the contortionist in an act that will literally bend your imagination! And
Francesco the Clown, captivating the crowd with his musical merriment and gentle humor.
Under the direction of maestro Rob Slowik, the renowned Big Apple Circus Band
provides as always the live and glorious tunes of the sawdust spectacular. And finally, our
irrepressible, magnificent Ringmaster, the illustrious and incomparable John Kennedy
Kane will summon the spirits of the circus universe to immerse you in the wonder, the joy
and the astounding magic of METAMORPHOSIS!
✯ From the US, John Kennedy Kane makes his thrilling three-peat here
under the Big Top, to take you on a shimmering, chimerical adventure!
✯ From Russia, Vladimir and Olga Smirnov challenge you to keep up as
they change from one outrageously spectacular costume to another in
just the blink of an eye!

✯ From Russia, the Aniskin Troupe transports the audience to new
heights, showcasing some of the best twists and turns of the century on
their trampoline and flying trapeze!

and adults alike as he transforms reality into dreams!
