Circus of Worldly Wonders - A Steampunk Ballet
Event Information
About this event
It’s the year 1885, and The Circus of Worldly Wonders is coming to town by steam engine.
Mechanical swans, mesmerizing mermaids, hypnotic magicians and daring tightrope walkers will capture the hearts of all who are curious – and brave! – enough to attend. This circus mechanique has something for everyone: from the sophisticated society crowd to the rascally rogues.
This is a 40-minute glimpse of a brand new ballet from the Leigh Purtill Ballet Company – the dancers who brought you LA's only Zombie Ballet - debuting in 2022.
This one-night-only virtual fundraising event includes a LIVE performance in addition to pre-recorded original work featuring company members from across the country and around the world.
The show will include a live raffle with great prizes, including a $300 gift card! You can purchase Raffle Tickets in the add-ons section. And remember: your donations are tax deductible!
The circus will only be in town for one night! Get your tickets now before the steam engine takes off for its next destination…

"It's my goal to make ballet as inclusive as possible, and that means putting dancers on stage who don't fit the mold of the perfect ballerina, whether that's age, gender, shape, cultural background or sexuality.”
-Leigh Purtill, Artistic Director
