Dear San Francisco: Not Your Aunt Gertrude's Cirque Show (But Maybe She'd Still Like It)
Ah, San Francisco. City of fog, cable cars, and enough sourdough bread to fuel a small nation. But what about Dear San Francisco? Is it a lost love letter penned by a lovesick sea lion? A secret society dedicated to the preservation of sourdough starters?
Nope, and nope! Dear San Francisco is something far more entertaining: a high-flying acrobatic love letter to the city itself! Performed by the world-renowned circus troupe The 7 Fingers, this show isn't your grandma's bingo night. Think death-defying stunts, breathtaking choreography, and a whole lot of spandex (because, let's face it, what's a good circus show without some eye-catching attire?).
| What is Dear San Francisco |
A whirlwind romance with the city by the bay:
Dear San Francisco takes you on a whirlwind journey through the city's vibrant history. From the gold rush madness (complete with, we can only hope, some acrobatic gold panning) to the beatnik poetry scene (because let's be honest, those guys were probably pretty limber), the show captures the essence of what makes San Francisco so darn special.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
Expect to be wowed by:
- Daring acrobatics: We're talking hoop diving, Chinese pole climbing, and feats of balance that would make a mountain goat jealous.
- Original music and choreography: The soundtrack is as dynamic as the city itself, and the movement will leave you wondering how those folks bend like that (without throwing out their backs, we hope).
- A touch of San Francisco sass: The show doesn't shy away from poking fun at the city's quirks and characters. We're talking tech bros, fog jokes, and enough sourdough puns to make you groan with laughter (or maybe that's just the pretzel vendor next door?).
So, is Dear San Francisco for you?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a night out that's equal parts thrilling, hilarious, and strangely heartwarming, then this is your show. Whether you're a lifelong San Franciscan or just visiting the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time, Dear San Francisco will leave you feeling like you've experienced the city in a whole new way.
