Un cirque à New York

A nostalgic look back at the Circus Amok, a group of avant-garde performance artists (bearded ladies, queers, misfits and drag artistes)that made New York the big apple in the pre-Guiliani era.

With her full beard, Jennifer Miller is a most unusual character. For the past five summers, she has been travelling all over New York City's most remote boroughs with Circus Amok, offering free outdoors shows. With those shows – an explosive mix of classical circus acts, queer aesthetics and bitter social commentary –, Miller, a well-known figure of the downtown cultural avant-garde, goes for working-class audiences and finds them.
