Description

The Circus is coming to town! Redwood City is pleased to welcome, for the seventh year, Zoppé, An Italian Family Circus from October 10th through October 26th, 2014. Their spectacular two-hour performances will enthrall the entire family, and we are excited to bring them to Red Morton Park again this year, this time for 3 weeks!

The Zoppé Family Circus welcomes guests into the intimate 500 seat tent for a one-ring circus that honors the best history of the Old-World Italian tradition. Starring Nino the clown, and featuring his son Julien, the circus is propelled by a central story (as opposed to individual acts) that feature acrobatic feats, equestrian showmanship, canine capers, clowning and plenty of audience participation.

The great thing about the circus is how it rejuvenates and reinvents itself every season! This year, Nino, with lots of help from sturdy audience members, walks a tightrope, brings back his exciting swing act, and maintains his running feud with boss-man, Pepino. Equestrian ballerina Tosca has created a real duo horseback act with Pepino. Rudolf and Carla Heinen also return with their performing canine family. Theye have recently adopted some very talented poodles!

New acts for 2014 include:
- From Mexico City, the 6-member Osorio Family, will thrill audiences as they fly through the ring, are catapulted into a net - in their Russian swing act, and flip like mad off of their teeterboard.
- The Amazing Roland from Cuba - half hand-balancing act, half contortionist, half crazy with talent and wildly flexible - will amaze with his strength, control and agility.

On the treament of their animals...
The Zoppe Circus uses only domestic animals - dogs and horses - who are the personal pets of their owners. As family-owned pets, the animals are raised, transported and housed with expert, loving care. Some of the dogs in the show have been rescued from animal shelters by the Zoppe family.
