The Nouveau Sud Circus Project has embarked on a new creative journey to address an issue that we are called to respond to as artists and as a company centered on people of the global majority- Gun Violence and how we as citizens of the New South are affected by it.

These are the communally reoccurring questions that sparked the creation of Ricochet. For over two decades we have seen an increase in the unfortunate and terrifying events of mass shootings at a national level. Examining such cases, has brought us to the larger question of Violence as portrayed and accepted in many circles in our society. With the structure of a series of vignettes, utilizing our signature acrobatic language and the contemporary circus arts as vehicle we will look for answers to our questions.
