CYRKUS VAMPYR

A mysterious troupe of performers appear the night after the sudden death of a young girl in a rural New England village. As the night grows darker, they take over the village with performances in the most unexpected of places. Their acts defy gravity. Their voices hypnotize. Their motives are unclear...

Cyrkus Vampyr is an immersive theatrical outdoor circus rooted in the mythology of the mid-19th century “New England Vampire Panic” as well as the stories of Eastern European circus troupes that toured the young United States at that time.
