The Madame Buskerfly Show moves from juggling with scarves, balls, clubs and Chinese yo-yo to a death-defying card trick involving a raccoon, a deck of cards and a cannon. As well, you’ll witness an audience favourite: two ballroom dancers - life sized dancing puppets. What the audience sees is a dancing couple - what they can’t figure out is how one performer suddenly becomes two.

Finishing the show is Madame Buskerfly’s signature piece - a hilarious stilt ballet, with Kristi as a ten foot tall ballerina. The prima donna chooses an aspiring Baryshinikov from the audience and together they perform an unforgettable pas-de-deux. This routine has never failed to leave the audience in stitches.

Kristi Heath has been a professional performer since the age of eighteen, beginning her career with the Second City comedy revue company. After graduating with a theatre degree, Kristi studied street performance with the Odin Theatre of Denmark. She was soon combining her background in comedy and theatre with the skills of stilt dancing, juggling and unicycling. She has been performing her own unique style of physical comedy around the world ever since, and continues to expand her repertoire of skills. A variety of stilt-characters are available.

Kristi Heath and Greg Tarlin have created a new show called “Fizzical Fizzicks: The Science of Circus”. These two veterans of the circus arts combine traditional circus props, popular toys and some big surprises to help display and explain the properties of the three types of motion: translation, rotation and vibration. Audiences will delight in the performance of traditional circus skills (juggling, stilt-walking, rola bola and unicycling) along with the skills displayed with common toys (yo-yo, hula hoop, pogo stick, ball). There will also be some BIG surprises along the way when giant props are put in motion (a child’s swimming pool spinning on Greg’s fingertip and a gigantic inflatable ball).

Three teams from the audience will take part in hilarious short contests involving translation, rotation and vibration. It’s all part of the fun as these people perform simple motions such as spinning on the spot, throwing a ball and bouncing. All the contests emphasize teamwork and fun and once again help to demonstrate how translation, rotation and vibration work. As the finale of the show, Greg and Kristi perform their “Big Circus Trick” atop stilts and tall unicycle. They pass juggling clubs back and forth, spin plates on their heads and knock an ice cream cone out of the mouth of a volunteer. The routine is a culmination of the three types of motion and reinforces the science while amazing with the circus.
