Pittsburgh People

Pittsburgh and The Circus have more in common than you may think. They're both full of strong people working hard to build strong things. Therefore, a Pittsburgh Circus must involve Pittsburgh People doing what they do best: fighting an uphill battle and winning together.

​

Cirque Jag Productions captures this spirit on film through dynamic stories of scrappy artists reimagining the familiar. The premise may be fictional, but the source is completely authentic. These are real performers using their craft to activate the potential of a place. Acrobatics on a parking chair. Juggling in an empty downtown square. Drumming through a blast furnace. It proves that "doing the best you can with what you have" can be a remarkable thing.
