URBANOPOLIS is the newest creation of the dynamic troupe Suspended Cirque, who have been packing the house at Galapagos Art Space. This new show follows a young man as he falls into a futuristic urban labyrinth where sirens crawl along steel girders, a dying phoenix plays her violin, women float on chains, a mechanical doll comes to life, and everything spins out of control. With the help of a mischievous pan-like creature, our young man tries to find his way back home. This tale plays out in the air, on the walls, and in the water, inviting the audience to become a part of the action, toasting the bacchanalian feast and feeling the heat of the performers. Spectators will delight in never quite knowing where to look or what to expect as anything is possible in this urban jungle.

SUSPENDED CIRQUE is a talented and experienced group of performers who integrate breathtaking aerial acrobatics with theater to create performances that are unique to the space in which they take place. They perform on traditional circus apparatuses as well as new and innovative aerial equipment such as frames, chains and chandeliers. They also sing, dance, and play a variety of instruments. 

The cast of Suspended Cirque includes: Joshua Dean, Ben Franklin, Michelle Dortignac, Angela Jones, and Kristin Olness with guest artist Leenya Rideout. Members have appeared on Broadway, at The Joyce Theater and Lincoln Center, and with such names as Twyla Tharp. They have also been featured on the Sundance Channel, Good Day New York, on the internet for American Express, and are soon to be featured on NOVA.
