Audiences in the climate controlled big top, in which no seat is more than 50 feet from the ring, are invited into a world where all things are possible.
Omnium Circus stars the legendary España family featuring Noe España and Marcos Ponce exhibiting strength and balance on the Wheel of Destiny, with Vivien España wowing from above with her one-of-a-kind head-balancing trapeze and aerial lyra performance. The next generation joins with Noemi Lee España, dazzling with her hula hoops as her brother, Elan España, astounds with his ‘how’d he do that?’ Diabolos act. Navy veteran Jason Span displays award-winning strength and grace atop the high pole while aerialist Jen Bricker Bauer, born without legs, defies gravity above the ring with her musician/husband Dominik Bauer accompanying her in an awe-inspiring presentation. World champion acrobatic gymnast Shenea Stiletto‘s strength and dexterity will inspire Olympic hopefuls. Mr. & Mrs. G‘s crossbow skills will have audiences holding their breath while America’s Got Talent semi-finalists, The Chicago Boyz, bring their jump rope acrobatics to the Omnium big top. Rob & Miss Jane‘s comedy variety act and the Muttville Comix will have the crowd laughing out loud. Teaming with Ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson, Brandon Kazen-Maddox, Omnium’s poet and a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), communicates through American Sign Language to guide audiences through the show.
Omnium’s multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and multi-abled cast truly creates a reimagined "Circus For All." Founder and Executive Director Lisa B.
