 This isn’t your typical big-top show. It’s an elegant, exciting performance that blends the raw power of exotic horses with the fluid grace of aerialists and dancers. At the center of it all is Olissio Zoppe, a ninth-generation bareback rider and visionary behind Cirque Ma'Ceo. His passion for preserving equestrian arts has created a touring masterpiece that speaks to both tradition and innovation. Catch one of the five shows over the course of the weekend. |    Discounted Tickets Now Available!Only available at Kaptien’s Ace Hardware in Mount Vernon.
