Co-produced with Silverguy Entertainment

The world's elite circus performers, including veteran members of the Wallenda Family, Ringling Bros. and Cirque du Soleil, return to Chicago's Water Tower Water Works for Hephaestus: A Greek Mythology Circus Tale. A world premiere hit for Lookingglass in 2005, Hephaestus is a must-see circus theatre event.  Evocative storytelling, amazing athleticism and the very highest levels of circus artistry bring the ancient Greek myth of Hephaestus to the high wire in this death-defying circus retelling.The Chicago Tribune called it "a top-drawer, post-modern, intimate circus show," the Chicago Sun-Times called it a "seamless, ingenious and altogether stunning mix of circus arts, music and theatrical storytelling - Highly Recommended" and Time Out Chicago raved "this is a show for all to see."
