CIRCO ZERO premiered at Theater Artaud in San Francisco June 2002 and has created a series of hybrid circus and performance events for theatres, streets, clubs and festivals.

Directed by Keith Hennessy, CIRCO ZERO makes live performance sparked by current and historic social realities. Rooted in contemporary dance & performance art we forge a dynamic synthesis that includes circus, theatre, visual art and live music. With a focus on experimentation and research, CIRCO ZERO evolves performance language, builds community, and nurtures a vision of live performance relevant to everyday life.

CIRCO ZERO has received commissions from Les Subsistances (Lyon) & Les Laboratoires (Paris), FUSED (France-US Exchange in Eance) as well as funds from the Zellerbach Family Fund, San Francisco Arts Commission, California Arts Council (RIP), Grants for the Arts, and The San Francisco Foundation.

CIRCO ZERO is a project of CounterPULSE.
