Resting B*tch Face — Common Thread Circus

Overview

When it comes to Common Thread Circus' latest show, we'd tell you to come for the acrobatics and stay for the societal commentary, except they're both intertwined. You don't call a performance Resting B*tch Face without wanting to make a cheeky statement, after all. Here, playing at this year's Wonderland Festival, it's delivered one aerial feat at a time.

The production stars four women eager to challenge expectations — and everything from stereotypes and struggles to online stars and social media in the process. Who knew group circus acts could engage, amuse and say something meaningful?
