Life on ‘The Edge’ at Circus Sarasota
By Madison Chapman, Herald-Tribune Tuesday, February 1, 2011
With this winter season’s show “The Edge,” Circus Sarasota wants to leave audience members on the edge of their seats.
For the performers in the nine acts featured this year, life on the edge is practically all they have known.
Ringmaster and daredevil Joseph Dominick Bauer Jr. is a ninth-generation circus performer and native Sarasotan who has spent years touring North America, Europe and Asia.
In his fourth year as ringmaster, Bauer will also headline the show, which opens at 7 p.m. today. He recently gave a public preview of his act on top of the Watergate One condominium in the Wheel of Destiny, in which he runs circles inside and atop a giant, 40-foot high cage.
Chasing danger is just a typical day for Bauer, but he is careful each and every time he sets foot on the wheel.
“Safety isn’t expensive, it’s priceless,” Bauer said. “But I’m very sure of what I do.”
Along with Bauer, the new show includes horse tricks by the Alanian Riders; quick-change magic by Krisztina and Szebasztian; balancing acrobatics by the Azzario Sisters; antics by the Jose Michel Clowns and more.
Circus Sarasota co-founder and audience favorite Dolly Jacobs-Reis will carry on her 35-year tradition by performing her popular aerial ballet.
