Two types of performances: The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus presents a frolicsome folly for families and children of all ages, and A louche Cabaret informed by passionate embraces, a hair's breadth, silken acrobatics, unequivocal equipoise, sophisticated manipulation and physical poetry. Our galaxy of luminaries includes Ariele Ebacher, Adam Kuchler, Ringmistress Philomena and Mr. Pennygaff... with special guest stars Paradizo Dance, and including a visit from the dark horse Presidential Candidate.

As the 2008 presidential election draws near, the American people demand a new kind of leader. With "Kinko for President," the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus offers the big-top solution! Kinko the Clown stands for change...spare change. He's willing to do whatever it takes to bamboozle the public. And when it comes to throwing his hat in the ring, Kinko can't be beat--from hat tricks to juggling hats, this clown is your candidate! Bindlestiff Family Cirkus's newest production is a full-force spectacle, where the circus meets the media circus, sideshow marvels meet campaign carnivals, and the audience meets one of this country's oldest traditions--the variety arts. Like all political campaigns, Kinko's campaign will include sleight of hand, tightrope acts, death-defying feats, slapstick comedy, and more. It's time to put a real clown in the White House--Kinko for President!
