Instigated by a white queer artist engaged in social justice movements for over 30 years, Circo Zero creates performances that offer a meeting ground for investigations of identity, history, and power.Circo Zero is one of the more prolific and widely touring of West Coast dance-performance companies. During our 18 year lifespan, we have presented work in more than 70 cities and 23 countries producing more than 15 full-length performances and countless shorter works in spaces ranging from punk anarchist squats to European state theaters to San Francisco beaches. In San Francisco, we have produced performances at YBCA, Dance Mission, CounterPulse, Joe Goode Annex.
