Cirque De Verre is a collection of dedicated emerging artists who have developed a performance that draws on our knowledge of glass and uses it to excite, entertain and challenge the audience’s assumptions about art making. Cirque De Verre uses the idea of “the circus” and superimposes it on the space of the “glass demonstration” as a nontraditional venue for performance art. The metaphor of the “circus,” is comical, but rather than being an ironic satire it is a whole hearted embrace of art as a spectacle and the artist as a performer. We break down the borders between art and entertainment and explore it as an inclusive endeavor. In a effort to make performance art accessible to the audience we unite the postmodern artistic sensibility with the circus.
