Circus Amok

Here is a clip from the Circus Amok show in Battery Park last Sept.

Circus Amok is a political theater troupe that travels around New York city parks performing for free. Each year they take on a different social issue and design a circus show around it. Last year the topic was eminent domain and this year it was immigration. The group was formed in 1989, but started performing in public spaces in 1994. Their show includes juggling acts, acrobatics, colorful costumes, and puppets.

Check out their website at circusamok.org to see when and where they are playing next.
