Universoul Circus

9:01 AM / Posted by onehundred inglass /

You know from the moment Casual 'Cal' Dupree enters the ring to the strains of James Brown that Universoul Circus is something different. Although only five years old, it lays claim to the tradition of the first African American circus that toured at the turn of the century. The all-black circus boogies along to an R&B, gospel and hip hop soundtrack. It's a classic circus in the Barnum and Bailey tradition with trapeze artists, tigers, gymnasts and plenty of clowns, drawn from all over Africa and the African diaspora.
