What feels like an ending is only the beginning…
As confetti falls on the final performance of Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus, a group of young circus performers find themselves adrift in an uncertain future, cast away from the only life they’ve known. But an unexpected encounter with a mysterious fortune-telling machine sends them on a journey swirling through time to the most magnificent moments in circus history.
Join a band of traveling juggling minstrels, wily commedia servants, and a runaway bride on a tumble through the esteemed courts of Renaissance Italy. Fly above the Eiffel Tower with Jules Leotard. Dance a can-can in old Paris and become entangled in an art heist through the bohemian streets of Montmartre. Swan dive from the rooftops of turn-of-the-century New York with P.T. Barnum’s Circus Emporium as the high-stakes meeting with the Ringling Bros is threatened by a gaggle of misfit gangsters. Fall into the surreal, evocative world of Cirque Du Soleil and defy gravity on aerial umbrellas as the enigmatic fortune teller spins the travelers through the timeless reinventions of circus past and present on this mystical whirling vision quest that seeks to discover the future of circus itself.
