11 Jan The Flight Fantastic

OPENING NIGHT · This fascinating look at the world of the flying trapeze centers on one of its greatest acts of all time, The Flying Gaonas. First performing on a trampoline, the Gaonas went on to become a star attraction for the best circuses in the world, including Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey. Director Tom Moore brings their story to life through interviews with family members and colorful archival material gleaned from a variety of sources. The Gaonas light up the screen with their charismatic personalities as we see them pass the torch on to new generations through teaching and coaching. Q&A with Tom Moore, Tito Gaona, Chela Gaona, and Richie Gaona
