Sxip Shirey: JANK!

On the way to a party in Berlin, an electro brass band from New York gathers circus artists in Montreal, takes a wrong turn in London, passes through Tirana and Istanbul, and lands in New Orleans.

The legendary Sxip Shirey leads a circus driven by music featuring bullhorn harmonicas, dirty electronics, sousaphone, percussion, and other unusual instruments, in a celebration where music and circus become one.

"It's Eastern European brass band meets New York hip-hop. Shirey and his band's infectious energy works with the exuberance of the circus performers, carrying the vitality of the cast out into the audience." — The Guardian, on SxipShirey's music in LIMBO.

This presentation produced by Unicycle Productions is part of a joint showcase by Machine de Cirque and Unicycle Productions. The first half of the evening will feature a new creation by Machine de Cirque (title to be announced).
