PLOT
The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus follows a sex-positive, socially conscious troupe of contemporary circus, vaudeville, burlesque and sideshow performers behind the scenes during their annual Winter Cabaret in Brooklyn and regional tours of the United States and Canada. Step right up as this close-knit, hybrid family of self-affirming "misfits", led by founders Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson, seeks to preserve ancient performance and American variety art forms in the modern world.
