Join Circus Flora for the sensory-friendly performance of "The Trial of the Century," its 35th annual show! As Circus Flora's storytellers will describe, malfeasance and misconduct have occurred in the tent. But all the witnesses saw something different, and all the evidence points to contradictory conclusions. In "Trial of the Century," the Big Top becomes the courtroom, acrobats the evidence and you yourself the jury!
The only certainty in the show is that with Circus Flora, you're in for a wild ride of joy, laughter, beauty and daring as you watch the best circus acts from around the world into the intimacy of the one-ring Big Top.
Tailored for individuals on the autism spectrum, those with sensory sensitivities, or visual impairments the sensory-friendly performance is designed with minor changes to the sound and lighting to create an enjoyable environment. Audio description is provided for this performance.
