FL!P Circus plans to make its debut in this area on Sept. 1, 2o23, and through Sept. 11 will host performances under their distinctive red and white, air-conditioned, 800-seat tent that will be set up in the parking lot at Westfarms.
In an announcement, FL!P Circus – which visited Danbury last year and will also return there following the run planned for Westfarms – said this year’s tour features an all-new production created by the Vazquez family. The international acts – none of which includes animals – include acrobatics, dance, comedy, and a lively musical soundtrack performed live by the FL!P Circus Band.

Ringmaster Arthur Figueroa will host the circus, and acts include comedians Stiv and Roni Bello – Italy’s “siblings of silliness,” Carolina Vazquez from Mexico who will gracefully perform high above the audience on a single trapeze, and the gravity-defying Duo Vanegas from Colombia, who will thrill the audience on the rotating Wheel of Steel.

“America’s Got Talent” top-10 finalists, the Bello Sisters from Italy, will “dazzle with their incredible body-bending, handstand skills,” and the Super Tumblers will “present a fast-paced display of agile acrobatic dexterity.”

The Bingo Troupe, from Ukraine, will present “a high-energy display of dance, acrobatics and unicycle that will fill the tent with their boundless exuberance.”
No seat is more than 50 feet from the ring, and those in the front row should not be surprised to be asked to join performers in the ring.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. on weekdays, and at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. For tickets to the Westfarms performances, click here. Additional information can also be found at www.FlipCircus.com. Tickets will also be available in person at the box office during each engagement.
