## Yes, That’s a Hot Air Balloon

### Direct from France!

The insane acrobatics of CIRQUE INEXTREMISTE burst onto the basket of a hot-air balloon during a tethered ride, knocking the skies off balance. In this clownish, tightrope-walking, quirky, fiery, spectacular and utterly crazy performance, Yann Ecauvre’s extreme acrobatic French collective will play with our fears and wreak havoc with our perspective. CIRQUE INEXTREMISTE has performed at major festivals throughout Europe since 2007. Don’t miss their U.S. debut tour!

Previous Friday on the Fringe headliners have included Plastiiencs Volants (2017, 2019), BANDALOOP (2012, 2013), and Circus Orange (2014). Not to be missed!
