Circus Performers Bend Time

What would it be like if we saw other people act out our memories? In its latest show, Balloons, Birds, and Other Flying Things, the Flynn Creek Circus will be answering that question as troupe performers use acrobatics, stunts, and comedy to animate audience members’ memories. Memory vignettes will be woven together in a story that comments on the illusive nature of time. The show will be held July 1–4 under the big top in Friendship Park in Mendocino. Shows are at 7 p.m. on July 1; 4 p.m. on July 2 with a 21-and-older show at 8 p.m.; 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on July 3, with a 21-and-older show at 8 p.m.; and 2 p.m. on July 4. Tickets are sold in groups, by bench or table, and are $81–$416 per set. Find out more and purchase tickets at flynncreekcircus.com.
