CIRCUS KID

NYC PREMIERE The Pickle Family Circus was founded by a young couple in 1974, paving the way for the New American Circus Movement. Their son Lorenzo became a performer from a young age. Now an actor, he looks for answers to a lifetime of questions as he explores an unconventional relationship with a father who was also his coach, employer and clown-act partner. Circus Kid captures the spirit, lunacy, daring and dynamics of growing up in a circus family.

Screening with Bernhard Wenger’s Keeping Balance. An amusement park serves as a haven for a young woman with a troubled past.
