The Majestic Theatre presents the Opening Night of the St. John’s International Circus Festival, Thursday, September 19 featuring OMÂ – or the Privileges of the Potato! This incredible night officially opens the festival and hosts a world-renowned foot juggler with other special guests. 

In OMÂ (a combination of Oma, the German word for grandma, and Mâdarjun, the Farsi affectionate term for grandmother), the German-Iranian circus artist Roxana Küwen Arsalan reimagines a dialogue with her two grandmothers. They have never met in person, but now their granddaughter brings them together for a circus teatime performance full of poetry and humour. Juggling teapots, languages, and questions of privilege, OMÂ tosses the happenchance of our origins up into the air.
