Audeville Society and the Revelry Ball are proud to welcome first-time Revelers Alex Oliva, Alexis Hedrick, Joel Herzfeld, Ky Bernard, Mandy Hackman, Rachel Barringer, and Tim Ellis - all of whom come to us courtesy of Circus 617!
Circus 617 is a collective dedicated to highlighting Boston-based professional circus artists, choreographers, and directors in new works of contemporary circus, created right here in the city we love. Circus 617 productions meld the spectacular, expressive physicality of circus with theatrical and musical methods of storytelling. Founded in 2020, Circus 617 received a LAB grant from the Boston Foundation to create their debut ensemble production, Gathering the Threads. Since then, they have created three additional feature-length productions and two ongoing series: Circus Mixtape, and Arias Aloft in partnership with Opera Untapped. Additionally, Circus 617 partners with organizations through New England to bring custom circus arts performances to audiences throughout the region. Learn more at circus617.com.
