St. Louis’ Social Circus Unites Children from the Heartland and an Island for One Inspiring Tour
Our St. Louis Arches are heading to Puerto Rico for a Peace Through Pyramids partnership with the National Circus School of Puerto Rico’s social circus troupe, the Revolution Circus! In this Peace through Pyramids partnership, the two troupes of young people will work together and create a show and a series of workshops to bring to communities in Puerto Rico that are still recovering from Hurricane Maria. At Circus Harmony, we know that building pyramids with people is a great way to build bridges between communities!
Racial divides, natural disasters, poverty… many issues can devastate a community. One of the greatest needs in the face of these overwhelming challenges is hope – young people especially need to feel that there is a way to get to a better and higher place. Circus Harmony, St. Louis’ only social circus organization, has been using circus arts to bring hope and motivate social change since 2001. Peace Through Pyramids partnerships with the Galilee Circus in Israel and between children in different neighborhoods in St. Louis have helped children reach new heights physically, mentally, emotionally and socially by uniting children through circus arts.
Both social circuses have been recognized and supported by Cirque du Soleil. Buzzfeed included Circus Harmony and the National Circus School of Puerto Rico among the 17 circuses that are changing the world!.
You can follow the tour on the Circus Harmony Facebook page. We are also excited to have an embedded reporter form the St. Louis American newspaper who will be posting from the tour! Scheduled stops include the towns of Dorado, Corozal, Naranjito, Comerío, and Morovis.
We leave Tuesday morning, July 3. The St. Louis Arches are excited to join forces with the Revolution Circus to bring the joy, hope and inspiration of the Revolution for Harmony Circus Tour! Follow our journey and follow our lead to support each other and work together!
