Was Me, Is Me

Was Me Is Me is a must see, uninhibited and unforgettable immersive show. It's not circus. It's not dance. It is a new and underground piece of performance art.

What reviewers have called “... that cathartic experience to reconnect we all need post-pandemic, ”Was Me Is Me” is a multi-sensory interactive theatre experience. With costumes by Emmy-nominated Timmy Schues, cast and audience are invited to experience a journey together from the moment they enter the installation. Through visceral emotion, kinetic aerial imagery, and original composition by Ukrainian musician Igor Yachmenov, the performance takes on the urgency of living in the moment and connecting with one another as empathetic humans.

The cast explores past, present, and future in all its complexities learning acceptance and healing through connection with everyone who takes this journey with them.

Our most recent fully produced show. The show explores moments we disconnect from ourselves and therefore further distance from others allowing the past to become the present that narrates our lives. Working through trauma we are experiencing  we can reveal the beauty of each individual's existence and emerge with a more informed sense of self. Was Me, Is Me  is our individual and collective healing  journey told through breathtaking aerial displays, dance, theater, euphoria, original compositions and featuring the stunning large-scale visual spectacle of  sway poles . Regardless of one's age, language or cultural background, this  invigorating performance is a true celebration of the human journey  and the way of being present for oneself and one another.

The Tao Line

Choreography and circus Direction : Angela Buccinni Butch and Cast members of ABCirque

Inside the Tao, the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang. Here we are met with the basis of human activity: greed, ego, partnership and community. As we walk this strange path and are thrown down whatever road the Tao directs us, we find that cooperation with ourselves and others is the only way forward or find balance. The Tao, dictates the way or code of behavior that we must operate with in in order to find harmony or natural balance .

Watch as four characters struggle to decipher what is real and what is simply a warped perception of reality. Our own experiences can make it so hard to let go; but the Tao forces us to make connections. If we work together, the unpredictable and unattainable somehow begins to become possible.

ABCirque & Play

NYC's finest circus troupe, ABCirque, juggle, flip, and fly high with aerial acrobatics! But that's not all; stick around afterwards because then it'll be YOUR turn to take center-ring! 45 minutes of show-time followed by 45 minutes of play-time with the pro's: take a swing in an aerial hammock, hula-hoop your heart out, juggle everything in sight, and then pose with the stars for the photographic proof you need to show off to your friends!

This is it, kids: you get to SEE IT then TRY IT! Stretch those wings; this is your BIG chance to fly away with the circus.

Petroushka

Choreographed and directed by artistic director Angela Buccinni.
Conducted by Experiential Orchestra Music Director James Blachly.

Imagine you are a part of a circus ballet, with aerialists and acrobats, human puppets and performers on silks swirling around you, all choreographed to Stravinsky's wild, surreal, virtuosic, energy - filled Petroushka. 

In this show, massivemuse, ABCirque and the Experiential Orchestra combine forces to produce Petroushka live with circus choreography where the ballet is performed by ABCirque performers. 

Symphonie Fantastique

An Experiential Orchestra in collaboration with GroupMuse & ABCirque at The Muse Brooklyn.

Drink your cares away as you enter into a bohème of an opium den on a psychedelic journey that only the combination of circus and symphony music can create. GroupMuse & ABCirque go BIG with a symphony spectacular that tells the tale of a young artist's self - destructive play and passion for a beautiful woman. You will witness his obsession, hallucinations, tantrums, moments of tenderness, ecstasy and despair.

Justice Avengers and the Orange Menace

While we often reminisce about the Big Top days, the touring circus, the lions and tigers and bears (oh my) -- Justice Avengers busts that aesthetic wide open. This show defies expectations, destroys gender and social norms, and gets in more than a few good jabs at our horror-show president. Justice Avengers is an interactive show that confronts real-life injustices and challenges its audience to work together to solve problems -- with a little help from a cast of gravity-defying superheroes.
But this show is as risqué as it is subversive. All of our superheroes are just a little bit off -- not manly enough, straight enough, American enough. It celebrates difference in true circus style -- by dressing it up in spandex, handing it a microphone, and embracing whatever happens next.

Imagined, designed, and co-created by a team of NYC’s best acrobats, dancers, and rigging experts, Justice Avengers is an immersive adventure and an opportunity to the outer limits of possibility.
