Overview

As silence falls and shadows stretch across the polished floors of a locked gallery, the typically still masterpieces begin to stir. Mischievous, mysterious, and magnificently alive, these works of art have stories they're dying to tell… and secrets they can no longer keep.

Monet strikes up an unlikely friendship with Warhol, Rococo flirts with Abstraction, and elegance gives way to chaos as the gallery transforms into a playground of movement and mayhem.

'FRAMED' is brought to life by the daring and dynamic performers of Circus Monoxide's Troupe, an after-dark adventure that pulls back the velvet curtain to reveal the hidden lives of art itself. Paintings slip from their gilded frames, sculptures shake off their stillness, and the gallery becomes a stage where styles clash, dance, and come alive in breathtaking ways.

Come along to the May Wirth Stage for a whirlwind of acrobatics, theatrics, and pure creative mischief. Witness the masters unbound, as they fly, twirl, and tumble through the night. But be warned…blink, and you just might miss the magic.
