The Big Apple Circus, back for the 35th year at Cunningham Park in Fresh Meadows, is leaving town after this weekend.
According to general manager Tom Larson, Paul Binder and Michael Christensen began performing as street jugglers in Europe in 1977. After being recruited for a circus and getting a taste of performing under the big tent, they returned to the United States.
“The Big Apple Circus was born under a little green canvass tent in Battery Park City,” said Larson, who has been with Big Apple for 21 years.
Over the years, Larson said he has learned the show’s secret to success.
“At the Big Apple, we take a great deal of care in terms of the quality of our show,” he said. “We keep the production value as high as we possible can within the constraints of the budget.”
There are 30 artists performing at the circus. Artistic director Guillaume Dufresony visits festivals and competitions all over the world to find the perfect cast.
