Canvas Sky features a heartfelt tale centered on themes of self-acceptance and the power of uplifting one another, portrayed through the journey of a circus troupe. Audiences will follow the story of a clown, struggling to find his place, who discovers his voice with a little help from an unexpected friend. This narrative is brought to life by a cast of ten world-class performers, blending the enchantment of classical circus arts with a contemporary storyline, all set to the backdrop of original music. This all-ages production is performed outdoors, under the vast canopy of sky and stars, on a custom-built circular stage and aerial rig, offering a unique open-air experience.
