CHARLOTTE, N.C. – There is no getting over the sheer spectacle that defines the 2013 edition of UniverSoul Circus. It’s a sensory overload of indescribable proportions featuring dazzling lights, pulsating sounds and an incredible cast of A-list performers handpicked from around the world. The red and yellow UniverSoul Circus big top, with intimate theatre-in-the-round seating, sets up in Charlotte at Freedom Shopping Mart Center across from Freedom Mall on Tuesday, November 19 through Sunday, November 24, 2013.
For the past five years, UniverSoul Circus has ranked in the top ten of Ticketmaster’s Top 25 Most Requested Family Events in the United States.
For 2013, UniverSoul features new acts, including a neck-breaking head balancing act from Vietnam, Comedy Cat Illusions featuring a live Tiger, and a bountiful bevy of female contortionists from Ethiopia. From start to finish, UniverSoul has assembled its most sensational and provocative line up of performers to date. They include artists from the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, France, Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam, South Africa, Russia, Ethiopia and West Africa.
“This show is on fire,” said UniverSoul Circus Founder and President Cedric Walker. For 2013, UniverSoul Circus has reached a new level of exuberance and energy never before witnessed under the big top. The energy level is heightened. Bottomline – this show is on fire…it’s TURN’T UP!
“Our fans in Charlotte will witness dynamic young performers who combine the past with the future to create groundbreaking performance art that is unique in the circus world,” he said, adding: “Our event is all about lifting spirits.
