The Pieces by Aloft Circus Arts at Touhy-Herbert

The Pieces brings circus arts to Touhy-Herbert Park on Thursday, September 10, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, with six performers building and climbing increasingly precarious ladders. The show is wordless and built around the tension of whether those towers will hold — acrobatic teamwork, near-misses, and the occasional crash. Aloft Circus Arts aims this at all ages, and the format (no dialogue, plenty of physical risk) genuinely works for a broad audience. Free outdoor performance in the park.
