SUMMARY:Cirque Vida (Audio Described)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 13 – Austin \n1 pm – Cirque Vida \nDescriber: Celia Hughes \nCirque Vida is a contemporary circus company rooted in ensemble circus\, acrobatics\, and dance; it aims to tell meaningful human stories using the virtuosity of gravity-defying circus. Small cast shows that focus on narrative stories that celebrate life in all its fascinating and intricate manifestations. Under the direction of Mexican American founder Xochitl Sosa\, Cirque Vida brings a unique and much-needed LatinX lens to this art form.  Family Friendly\, most of the show is set to music\, spoken text will be in English and Spanish! The show is 75-minutes long with an intermission! \nCirque Vida invites you to glimpse into the lives of residents of a quirky apartment building through the dim light of a window. A combination of Dynamic Circus\, Dance\, and Acrobatics explore the complexities of our closest relationships and familiarity with day-to-day routines. The curtains are pulled back as relationships develop and lives intersect to share private moments of laughter\, pain\, and vulnerability. Join us for an unforgettable experience! \nThis project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department \nIndra’s Awarehouse \n7904 FM 969\, \nAustin\, TX 78724 \nFor tickets: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/cirquevida/1582319
