Circus

Sebastian Kroon at the Circus

You don’t often see a lot of genre work in live theatre, especially not in one man shows, typically reserved for more personal topics. Sebastian Kroon cuts straight against the grain in his solo show *Circus*, a chilling tale about a young boy’s fascination with a mysterious carnival.

A series of ingenious lighting cues allow Kroon to jump through a cast of eerie characters, particularly capturing the youthful innocence of the seven year old protagonist as he falls deeper into a forbidden world. It’s a surprising but welcome change to have a live performance set its sights on a rarely used portion of the emotional spectrum: fear.

_Circus continues as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival until July 11th. You can find out more information "here":http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringe09/indoorBYOV_listings.html#C under what we like to call the big top._
