CIRCUS JUVENTAS PRESENTS: LUMIÈRE

WHAT:                Circus Juventas Summer 2025 Production: Lumière

This summer, Circus Juventas rolls out the red carpet for a trip through time and Tinseltown with a twist of paranormal intrigue. Join a lively crew of ghostbuster-style teens who, thanks to a lightning strike, find themselves transported to 1939, amidst the glitter and glamour of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Traverse the phantasmic fifth dimension, filled with celebrities, bellhops, gangsters, paparazzi, and studio heads as they navigate the bright lights and haunting shadows of the mysterious Hotel Hollywood. It’s an adventure you won’t want to miss!

The Summer 2025 original production will feature the performing arts circus school’s most advanced, highly committed troupe of circus artists and highlight the best of contemporary circus arts, with a strong blending of circus, dance, and theater.
