Everyone loves the circus and Portland is no exception. Neo circus performers are multiplying here and that means more performances. Cirque Magique! features performers Kazum, Leapin' Louis Lichtenstein, Leah James Abel on trapeze, Dave Clay, Sweet Juice and music, dance later with DJ Nicoluminous. "The emcee will be Dave Clay, acting as a delusional and imaginative amateur magician. Scarred by the criticism he receives from his unrefined act, he self-righteously displays to the audience how grand he truly is in his own imagination, being an Earthly contact with aliens, friend of wild cowboys and suave with the ladies."
