Satori Circus Performance Theatre February 13, 2010

New York City has the Blue Man Group, Detroit has SATORI CIRCUS.” - Chris Jaszczak

SATORI CIRCUS and Brian and Dave Dambacher are back….AGAIN!! And yes, they are bringing along with them the show that made them famous last year at MeadowBrook/Oakland University and this year at Yale University in New Haven Connecticut…titled FUNY AS HELL! (Funy actually pronounced, Funny.)

This time SATORI CIRCUS and the Dambacher Brothers, have the opportunity of reinterpreting their very own creation, without slighting the audience who loved the first presentation of ‘Funy As Hell’. The piece was one of six selected out of 200 submissions to be performed at the prestigious Yale University School of Drama’s Cabaret Theatre. This Valentines weekend production in Lexington will also feature the third Dambacher brother Scott, who performed recently on the Lexington Music Theatre stage as Hedwig in the hit rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch and native Port Huron singer/songwriter Brit Byers as the chorus and backing players to Satori Circus.

“The Bottom Line: Performance Art is not for everyone; for the rest of us there is SATORI CIRCUS!” - Between The Lines

Using Dante’s The Divine Comedy as the framework you are guided through a labyrinth of questions, of spirit, of destiny, of hope, of despair, and pure naughtiness: all the same musings. You witness the travels of a man who is lost in a dream between the here and there of Purgatory, Hell and Paradise: the same premise. Combining music, song, costumes, sound & lights, movement, film, cabaret and enlightenment your perception is obscured as to what performance art is, or what it could be…and yes, these are all the same contraptions used to embellish a story.

Blurring what is typically thought of as theatre, SATORI CIRCUS and the Dambachers will bring the audience through the subterranean worlds of Purgatory, Hell and Paradise to witness, participate in and analyze the situations that our protagonist, our hero (or anti-hero), manages to become involved with…deliberately or accidentally.

“SATORI CIRCUS is easily the Best Performance Art Group Detroit has produced. It should be seen if only to witness a New Direction in Art.” - Detroit Free Press

Be prepared for the unknown and come with an open heart and head to witness a performance art hybrid rarely seen in this Detroit Metro Area. We guarantee that you have never seen anything like this. You may never again. And you’ll leave humming and wondering if hell could really be this entertaining. And as Dante said at the gates of hell, “Abandon every hope, all ye who enter here.”

“A love for the absurd, SATORI CIRCUS is a singularly uncanny theatre-going experience that’s a little bit Performance Art and a little bit Rock Opera.” - Metro Times
