Special to the Enquirer
Hartselle is about to be enchanted by an extraordinary spectacle as Hideaway Circus rolls into town with its newest production, Canvas Sky. This unique outdoor circus experience is set to dazzle audiences on Sept. 21-22 at Hidden Rivers Farm.
Canvas Sky is the latest offering from Hideaway Circus, an innovative troupe known for blending traditional circus elements with contemporary storytelling. The show is part of an extensive 35-week tour across 22 states and promises a magical fusion of nostalgia and modern artistry. Set under the expansive night sky, the performance will feature a blend of classic circus thrills and cutting-edge acrobatics.
“We’re thrilled to bring Canvas Sky to Hartselle,” said Josh Aviner, cofounder of Hideaway Circus. “This isn’t just another circus. We assemble the world’s best performers to create an unforgettable experience. Each venue, like Hidden Rivers Farm, adds its own special touch, making every show a unique adventure.” The show tells the story of a circus troupe and their clown who struggles to find his place. With the help of a friend, he learns to embrace his uniqueness and find his voice. This narrative unfolds on a custom-built stage and aerial rig, capturing the spirit of classic circuses while offering a fresh, contemporary twist.
Audiences can expect to be mesmerized by a roster of international talent. The show features aerial artists with backgrounds ranging from Cirque du Soleil to Las Vegas, showcasing breathtaking stunts and gravity-defying feats. Also performing will be a three-time World Juggling Champion, who holds eight world records and was recently crowned the no. 1 juggler in 2023. Additionally, masters of the teeterboard will blend strength, precision, and humor to deliver a highenergy performance, while clowns will bring inventive humor that promises to leave audiences laughing and longing for more.
Hideaway Circus was founded by Josh and Lyndsay Aviner, whose previous works include the acclaimed theatre show Beyond Babel. Their productions are renowned for integrating storytelling with physical artistry, supported by a family legacy and a team of award-winning talents. The result is a performance that pushes the boundaries of traditional circus art.
Lyndsay Aviner expressed her enthusiasm for the show, saying, “Canvas Sky is designed to captivate and inspire audiences of all ages. It’s a show that reminds us of the magic of discovery and the joy of friendship. Whether you’re nine months or 90 years old, this show will embrace you and leave you with lasting memories.” The event offers three tiers of seating, starting at $25, to cater to various viewing preferences.
