On Saturday, March 14, 2020, Cycropia was set to perform live, onstage with the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra and Chorus — a once-in-a-lifetime, dream opportunity to present a most unique evening marrying aerial dance and live symphony. Regrettably, COVID-19 had different plans. On the heels of the lockdown, the show was canceled, the theater remained dark. Aspirations for countless artists were dashed, locally, nationwide, and globally.

“ALLEGRO VIVO!” is a restoration of life to this lost show. Cycropia will present seven original aerial pieces inspired by the masterworks of great composers, past and present, using the company’s signature steel ladders, cube, aerial straps, hoop, flying pole, aerial lotus, and other custom-designed aerial apparatus.
