Vermont's own Circus Smirkus 

The show is full of talent and spectacle, with aerials, acrobatics, highwire, juggling, trapeze, clowning and array of brilliant costumes. This year’s tour continues the tradition of theme-based shows with a scientific extravaganza called Smirkusology:

It’s wacky, weird science, Smirkus style! The story revolves around an innovative team of quirky, crackerjack scientists, attempting to formulate the chemical compound of circus. From molecular contortions to astrological proportions, they create it all: electrified acrobats, anti-gravity aerialists and gyroscopic jugglers. Unwind your mind, put your thinking cap on and join Smirkus for the silliest scientific spectacle, a virtual universe of whimsical wizardry and the discovery of the greatest invention of all time: pure joy. The result is a rousing celebration, chock-full of invention and suspension, gadgets and gizmos and the infinite magic of circus, sure to bring audiences to their feet.
