WILMINGTON — Cape Fear Community College’s Wilson Center is hosting an acrobatic adventure in wonderland with “Cirque Alice.”
The show will take place at 7 p.m. on March 5 and 2 p.m. on March 6, featuring world-class acrobatics, larger-than-life characters, puppetry, comedy, dance, and live music.
Audiences will dip into the rabbit hole of Lewis Carroll’s timeless classic “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” with aerial artistry and mind-bending contortion, as well as newly arranged contemporary interpretations of classical music. The show was created by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, the creatives behind the magic show “The Illusionists.”
“The world of Alice is filled with imagination, eccentricity, surprise, and adventure, which makes it the perfect foundation for a cirque spectacular,” Simon Painter said in a release. “With ‘Cirque Alice,’ we wanted to create a visually stunning experience that captures the wonder and chaos of Wonderland while showcasing some of today’s most extraordinary performers.”
Tickets go live to Wilson Center members on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 10 a.m., and to the general public on Friday, Oct. 9, at 10 a.m.
