9월 12일 저녁, 브루클린브리지파크의 페블 비치(Pebble Beach)에서 서커스 공연이 펼쳐졌다. 

 

자유의 여신상과 맨해튼 스카이라인을 배경으로 해질녘 플롯삼 리버 서커스(Flotsam River Circus)가 초대됐다. 플롯삼 리버 서커스의 멤버들은 뮤지션, 인형극 배우, 서커스 아티스트 등으로 구성된 그룹으로 낡은 뗏목을 강변에 띄우고 모래사장과 바윗돌벽으로 몰려든 관람객들에게 음악, 마임과 곡예를 선사했다.

플롯삼 리버 서커스는 마치 이탈리아 페데리코 펠리니(Federico Fellini) 영화들과 니노 로타(Nino Rota)의 음악을 연상시켰다. 이들은 2025년 펜실베니아주 이리(Erie) 운하의 개통 200주년을 맞아 버팔로-로체스터-핑거레이크-허드슨-킹스턴-호보켄에서 뉴욕시까지 운하와 허드슨강을 따라 항해하는 투어 'ERIE CANAL AND HUDSON RIVER TOUR'를 따라 브루클린브리지파크에 당도했다. 

 

9월 13일과 14일 오후 6시엔 뉴욕의 랜달아일랜드(Randalls Island)에서의 공연으로 피날레를 장식한다.

“This playful, hour-long show features a cast of nine gallivanting around their makeshift vessel, performing circus tricks, aerial antics and puppetry to a vaudeville-style soundtrack.” – SF Gate

 

“They bring to life a post-apocalyptic world maimed by climate change, leading to the takeover of invasive mutant fish… The story is told with acrobatics, miming, illusions and more.” – Minneapolis Public Radio

 

“It’s totally worth trying to catch this wild rumpus, this children’s book come alive and afloat – for the songs and silliness, for the eight-breasted evil mermaid and for the surprisingly moving acrobatic scene at the end that ferried me entirely away from worries and into that rare sea called wonder.” – Crosscut Seattle

ABOUT FLOTSAM!

FLOTSAM! is a troupe of musicians, circus performers and puppeteers traveling on a ramshackle raft, giving free performances in waterfront towns along the way. Since 2019 we have performed for tens of thousands of people across thirteen states and have travelled over two thousand river miles. Our tours have taken us from the Willamette River in Oregon to the Mississippi, and in 2024 we completed our biggest tour to date, traveling the entire Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Paducah.

 

For 2025, we will be helping celebrate the Bicentennial of the Erie Canal by traveling from Buffalo To New York City. In future years, we hope to bring our floating circus to the rivers and canals of Europe, and eventually all over the world.
