2. VAU DE VIRE RAISES NEW BIG TOPS!

Big Breaking news from our friends at the Vau de Vire Society

Behold "Tortona" & "Tortiny," Vau de Vire's new big top and not-quite-so-big top circus tents!

After literally scouring the Earth for exactly the right fit, serendipity led them to these two bellisimas in Italy — Tortona, Italy, to be precise, which now have become their namesake>

The VdV roustabouts will be erecting these two magical mansions in the next couple months at a secret (for the moment) Bay Area location, then taking them out to the Symbiosis Festival in September, then ... oh the places they'll go! .



Huzzah for this welcome Bay Area Circus expansion! We look forward to experiencing a whole new world of performance adventures under these new domes of delight! More news as plan develop!
