Air Temple Arts to Premiere Show Previewed at 2023 GreenStage Festival

If you caught Air Temple Arts' performance and workshop at the 2023 GreenStage festival, you saw (and maybe tried some of the skills from) excerpts of their new show, Layovers. The circus arts troupe has completed work on Layovers and will premiere it in New Haven on May 4 at the ACES Educational Center for the Arts.

Layovers is an absurdist comedy that fuses juggling and circus arts with dance and music—telling the story of three strangers stuck in an airport with no choice but to better get to know their traveling companions and themselves. It's a visual delight for audiences of all ages, performed by three circus artists. Acts include duo diabolo, hoop juggling and rolling, acrobatic folding chair and hoop manipulation, accompanied by zither and looping pedal. Oh, and there's confetti, play-pit balls and plenty of pink!

Shows are at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the ECA Arts Hall, 55 Audubon Street in New Haven. You can get tickets and more information here.
