Batty's Hippodrome, Portland's premiere circus troupe, plays host to our crazed cousins from the Emerald City - CIRCUS CONTRAPTION!

Fearsome frontman Armitage Shanks leads his adroit ensemble of vulgarian virtuosos through merry macabre mummery from their first three recordings, and perhaps a peek or two at what's to come. Surely the most depraved band of windjammers ever to sell out a week-long stint off Broadway, and the preeminent anti-heros of the Cascadian Circus Rennaissance.

Joining them on tour are the gypsy brass party parade known as ORKESTAR ZIRKONIUM, featuring the fun half of The Infernal Noise Brigade, touring 10 strong in their retooled black bus.

Last but certainly not least, we'll round out The Show in proper circus fashion with performances from kung-fu carnies NANDA, buckaroo buffoon LEAPIN' LOUIE LICHTENSTEIN, angellic aerialist KYOKO UCHIDA, cane-balancing contortionist BRITTANY WALSH, and Portland's Prince of Prestidigitators DR. REED McCLINTOCK.

Forever we wander the Endless Road that is our only home, onward arm in arm with our Global Spirit Family, till our bones turn to dust and they put us in the sandbags. May the big tops never fold.
