This summer Clay & Paper Theatre presents: The Circus of Dark & Light, a subversive comedy featuring puppets, live music, and special appearances by a human cannonball, a pyrophobic firebreather and a truly elegant ersatz elephant.

Welcome to CIRCUS SCAMALOT, currently on tour with Prime Minister Nobody and under the tiny thumb of Little Big Man. Can a bedraggled bunch of clowns, a cowardly ringmaster and a hard-nosed high wire beauty queen band together to break out of oppression, galvanize hope and take control of their own lives? Come join our unlikely heroes and discover how the magic of community can change the world.

As part of our Puppets without Barriers program which aims to increase accessibility to theatre, we will be offering performances with pre-show touch tours and Integrated Descriptive Dialogue for blind and low-vision audience members.

Most evening performances will also feature a pre-show by our hit bicycle-based theatre troupe; CYCLOPS: Cycling Oriented Puppet Squad. This mobile performance squad takes our unique brand of theatre to the streets; animating and energizing Toronto’s public spaces, promoting active living and drawing attention to urban environmental issues through original bicycle-infused theatre!
