    Present day Philadelphia is transported back to 1900s Paris in the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts (PSCA) production of “The Green Fairy Cabaret". The show will feature performances by top circus artists in fabric (tissu), aerial ladder, trapeze and acrobatics. This new original production, part of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, marks the first-time PSCA performs in Center City Philadelphia. In 1900s Paris, Paris sparkled with five permanent circuses. Night after night, Picasso, Leger, Apollinaire and other artists watched the shows and mingled after hours with the jugglers, saltimbanques, clowns, harlequins and acrobats who embodied artistic risk. Painters, sculptors and circus artists challenged the status quo by redefining the limits of human possibility. Today, the region’s top circus artists explore and redefine their own limits during these special performances for children and families. The region’s top circus artists will present their own “Green Fairy” with a glimpse into this underground world. The 60-minute show stars Kendra Greaves (fabric/tissu), John Jarboe (emcee), Kitsie Lundell (aerial ladder), Harley Newton (aerial ladder), Niff Nicholls (trapeze), Anthony Ruiz (acrobatic duo), Erica Saben (acrobatic duo), and Dave Smith (juggling). “Green Fairy” is directed by PSCA’s Marcotte.
