The American circus has featured many acts over the centuries, but one act that was a guaranteed crowd-pleaser displayed feats of horsemanship and human agility. It is to celebrate the importance of the circus in American history that Night of the Horse presents "Circus Equus" on Saturday, April 24, at 7:00PM.
One of the first American circuses was that of Victor Pepin and Jean Breschard. Their circus, established in 1807, had a cast of equestrians, clowns, rope dancers, and musicians, and became the first circus to go west of the Appalachian Mountains, a territory still considered unsettled at the time. In 1814, they added a third partner, Cayetano Mariotini, and continued to push farther and farther west. Tonight's performance will transport the audience to 1814 and to a performance of the Pepin, Breschard, and Cayetano circus.
