Kamikaze Heart is an original story written and directed by Tim Barsky, Artistic Director of City Circus. It begins…

“Once upon a time in a little place they used to call the new country, there was a Boy who had a Heart Made of Gold. Only it was not nearly as nice as one might imagine. In fact the Heart was mechanical, and had to be wound up constantly, and created incidents with homeland security regulations whenever the boy boarded a plane. But most of all it made the Boy feel that with a heart that was so heavy and difficult and cumbersome, that no one would ever love him. But he did find love, with A Beautiful Grantwriter who had just secured a large grant for a Little Urban Circus from San Francisco…”

KAMIKAZE Heart is a visually stunning urban fairy tale about true love brought to life by an award-winning team of hip-hop music, dance and circus artists. Death-defying feats of contortion, juggling, acrobatics, aerial performance, parkour, ballet cirque, and puppetry, beat boxing, and breakdance are employed to interpret Barsky’s original story.

The story continues...After being called into the Army Reserves and shipped overseas, the Beautiful Grantwriter turns into a Swan and then begins her journey home. She encounters The City of Fire, moon spiders, forests of demons, and the break dancing heroes- 4 Kingz of The Elements (‘because everybody knows that b-boys are filled with kamikaze hearts full of love’~ Tim Barsky).

Urban Circus Arts is a new, hybrid performance style unique to City Circus. The performance discipline crosses traditional circus arts (acrobatics, aerial acts, and contortion) and newer city-born forms (breakdancing, parkour, and hip-hop theatre). Urban Circus Arts is an energetic and innovative juxtaposition of art forms.

Music by Kevin Carnes (Broun Fellinis, P-Funk Electrofunkadelic)will be performed live on the vibraphone, keyboards, drums, and electronics.

KAMIKAZE Heart will open on May 1 and run Fridays through Sundays throughout the month at Brava! Theater in San Francisco’s Mission District.
