Since 2008, Circus Bella has been keeping San Franciscans entertained with its throwback circus techniques. Trading the idea of a big top for something a bit more intimate, the local troupe is making its way to the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco for one day. Even for those who have seen Circus Bella's contortions, hula-hooping, trapeze, or juggling, it's hard to anticipate just how spectacular these feats become when viewed at such close proximity. Feats of strength become hold-your-breath-and-pray-for-the-best terrifying. And clown acts — well, those become terrifying, too. Local composer, pianist, and accordion player Rob Reich performs the original score. As with most of the programing at the Jewish Community Center, Circus Bella is perfect for families — though just to err on the side of caution, it's probably a good idea to discourage any excited children from sword-swallowing or fire-breathing once they get home.
