Previously hailed by the Boston Globe as “unpredictable, provocative, and gratifyingly visceral,” Luminarium Dance takes its most recent show—COMMON CIRCUS—and shakes up the concert format to present the new work as a walking tour through Boston's Roslindale neighborhood. This roving performance utilizes dance, theatre, comedy, spoken word, and sport as the performers guide audience members from site to site.


COMMON CIRCUS is a three-ring exploration of the mundane—how do our routines and rituals bring chaos and order to our daily lives? From doing the laundry to existential dread, workplace "norms" to putting a toddler to bed, this version of the performance will utilize familiar sites around a busy neighborhood while making great spectacle out of the day-to-day. From co-working space to coffee shop, dumpster to busy sidewalk, COMMON CIRCUS asks audience members to notice and celebrate the mundane and ritualized bits of their own lives. 


“Common Circus began with Holman’s curiosity about tasks, chores, gender roles, and household labor, inspired in part by her own experience of the pandemic, and the house-bound domesticity that magnified and made inescapable the most mundane undertakings of daily life. Then she imagined those mundanities as a circus. As something spectacular.”


COMMON CIRCUS will be performed August 6 at 4pm, starting and ending at The Substation in Roslindale Square. The route is accessible for those with mobility devices or strollers, and all walking paces are welcome. Audience-goers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend this production. No previous dance- or theatre-viewing experience is needed.
