ElementSircus is an annual experimental multimedia small-scale festival celebrating on the longest day and night of the year — Winter and Summer Solstice. The costumed-encouraged ElementSircus has seen the likes of many amazing experimental boundary breaking bands, performance artists, dancers, film and video artists, improv, freak shows, fire spinners, DJs, circus acts, recycle artists, games, artisans, robots, bike brigade / ballet, multimedia experimenters, stilt walkers, spoken word artists, percussionists, and the list goes on and on. Curators of the event, Absent Sound, have teamed up with Ragpickers Anti-fashion Emporium and Sweet Spot Productions to host what many say is one of the most important underground cultural events to come out of Winnipeg. This festival would not be possible without all the incredible help from so many volunteers from the community throughout the years. This is an audience involved event from the costumes they wear, to the impromptu jams, to organizing and performing.
