A Cat Circus Is Heading To Bushwick Next Week
Since cats are the most undeniable trope in the history of the internet, you’ll probably be delighted to hear that the Amazing Acro-Cats–a dazzling brigade of fourteen performative felines, will be putting on a show at the Muse Brooklyn from July 16-19. You can expect pretty kitties jumping through hula-hoops, and some other daredevil-esque shenanigans in this full-on cat circus.
The Acro-Cats are led by Samantha Martin, who by all accounts is a bonafide cat-woman. According to the troupe’s website, Martin has had a “lifetime fascination and truly unique bond with animals,” that’s “inspired her extensive background, [which] includ[es] an associate degree in animal husbandry.”
And from what we can tell, Martin leads a pretty vibrant show. She told the New York Times that the cats close out each performance as six-piece band, banging on drums and letting it all hang loose as part of an “improvisational” jam-session.
We’re sure the kitty-cats play something glamorous, except for when their paws get in the way of plucking guitar strings, for example.
The Acro-Cats have appeared on various morning shows, lighting up crowds and cooing cat-lovers in places like Memphis and on the Steve Harvey Show. This forthcoming stint in Bushwick should be no different. But if you can’t wait until next week, here’s a video of the Acro-Cats in top form, just to whet your appetite:
