LIQUID by New York Circus Project
May 29 – June 7 at Dock 5, Washington, D.C.
World premiere
From the creators of last year’s critically-acclaimed acrobatic HAMLET, New York Circus Project returns to Washington, DC with the world premiere of LIQUID.
LIQUID by New York Circus Project is a 60-minute punk rock circus experience that celebrates the wild, subversive joy of adulthood. At its core is a reclusive water bottle salesman, suddenly thrust into a world of chaos, spectacle, and punk-fueled abandon. Dazzling, rebellious characters pull him out of his sheltered life and into a raucous journey of transformation.
The cast and creative team of LIQUID include alumni of Cirque du Soleil, Broadway (Moulin Rouge, Sunset Boulevard), American Idol, the National Circus School, and more. Fueled by a pulsating soundtrack of punk through the ages, from The Ramones to Avril Lavigne, the show features a cast of elite circus artists from around the world: sensual aerialists, dynamic acrobats, whip-fast tap dancers, and dextrous hula hoopers.
But the party doesn’t stop at the edge of the stage. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of LIQUID: neon lights, graffiti-streaked walls, and a full bar with signature craft cocktails curated by the professionals behind Jack Daniel’s, Slane Irish Whiskey, and Diplomatico Rum. Lace up your Doc Martens, grab a drink, and dive into LIQUID.
“Place the New York Circus Project among the companies we need to watch.”
— Andrew White, BroadwayWorld

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR NYCP
BroadwayWorld
“And now we have an emerging company, the New York Circus Project (NYCP), that wants to take the art of the circus one step further, into the realm of stage drama … And now I can place the New York Circus Project among the companies we need to watch.”
- Andrew White
DC Theater Arts
“These are designers and creatives who have weaved emotion and message to this production’s music, staging, all while engaging in high-flying acrobatics, mind-boggling contortionism, and exhilarating aerial work. Audiences were quickly texting and recommending this show.”
