Deep Dish – Alberta Circus Arts Festival
June 25, 2023, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Alberta Circus Arts Festival is proud to present an evening of exceptional aerial and acrobatic performers from across Canada. From Nova Scotia to British Columbia, you will be delighted, amazed and awed by the talent converging in Edmonton for one night only! This incredible evening will be hosted by the incomparable John Ullyatt, co-founder of Firefly Theatre and Circus.
Deep Dish, Samantha Halas’s one-woman theatrical contortion show, deftly balances a poignant personal journey with a rockin’ retro vibe and will delight audiences of all ages. Helen, Samantha’s character, is keen to please her customers but bumbles orders, sets the table in handstands and juggles water as she comes to realize who she really is. Halas generously shares her struggles with class and expectations, while performing high quality contortion and foot juggling – with pizzas!
Deep Dish is charmingly funny and deeply touching.
