On the way to the party in Berlin, an electronic brass band from New York City gathers circus artists in Montreal, takes a wrong turn in London, and by way of Tirana and Istanbul, ends up in New Orleans.
Legendary mad maestro, Sxip Shirey, leads a circus powered by incredible live music made with Bull Horn Harmonicas, Dirty Electronics, Sousaphone, Glass Bowl Choir, Funky Drums, Siren Whistles and Bundt Pan Bell Trees.
“It’s Eastern European brass band meets New York hip-hop. Shirey and his band’s infectious energy works with the exuberance of the circus performers, carrying the vitality of the cast out into the audience.” -The Guardian (LIMBO review)
