RagTag: A Circus in Stitches
Justin Durham
Cirque Us presents "RagTag: A Circus in Stitches."
Live performances are revving back up at Madison Circus Space, and this week includes a visit by Boston-based collective Cirque Us. The group's touring show RagTag: A Circus in Stitches considers the threads holding together modern life by exploring how six circus artists with different specialties weave together a shared story.
media release: Have you ever stopped to think about the threads which make up the fabric of everyday life? How sometimes they feel so perfectly knit together, while at other times they feel more like a tangled web of knots? Every fiber has a source, but what prevents it from completely unraveling? Woven together, these loose ends create a new story.
Follow our RagTag group of threadbare, yarn-spinning characters as they explore a new patchwork world. You’ll be entwined with our group of mismatched artists as they stitch together a tapestry of talents. This show features high-flying, knot-tying, gravity defying aerialists, loopy jugglers, musicians that pull at your heart strings, and comedy that will leave you in stitches. Can these six ragamuffins find a common thread, or will they fall apart at the seams? Join us as we tell tales of support, fear, friendship, and the connections which inevitably interweave themselves in our lives.

We've had a number of questions about our COVID door policies. "RagTag: A Circus in Stitches" is one of the first shows that MCS will hold since 2020. In creating our policy, it made sense to lean on the experience of an organization that has been hosting shows during COVID much longer than we have.
The Madison Circus Space will be following the same COVID health and safety policy as the Overture Center. MCS is requiring all attendees ages 5+ to provide either proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test*, which will be matched to an ID. Refer to the Overture Center policy for details on what can be provided as proof of vaccination or a negative test result. Self-reported negative test results that are not from a test provider, a laboratory, or a health care provider won't be accepted. Children without a photo ID must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Masks will be required for the show for all attendees ages 2+.
If these changes no longer make it possible for you to attend the show, please reach out to info@thecirqueus.com and we are happy to provide you with a full refund.
See you at the show!
*For those who are unable to obtain a vaccine or test as described above, MCS will have a very limited number of antigen tests on site. Please arrive early if you need one of these tests. We hope to provide a safe, comfortable experience for all in attendance while recognizing that our communities' health systems do not always serve everyone equitably.
