Pro-Art presents Aerial Circus-Host of Sparrows | Wise, Va

From Virginia’s first professional contemporary circus company, comes MetaMORPHOsis, a performance that celebrates the life cycle of the Morpho butterfly. For the original production at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in 2019, Host of Sparrows Aerial Circus worked with an arborist to create a beautifully choreographed show of aerial silks artists suspended from a mighty oak tree—32 feet in the air. MetaMORPHOsis celebrates the beauty in the life cycle of the butterfly. Each performer creatively interprets the journey of the caterpillar emerging from the egg, to cocoon, and then the magnificent transformation into a beautiful butterfly.

​Host of Sparrows Aerial Circus has a mission to provide everyone the opportunity to experience, learn and perform the challenging, empowering and creative arts of circus in a safe and inclusive environment. This mission is achieved through community classes, performances, and touring shows, and in partnerships and collaborations with nonprofits to reach diverse audiences.
