ABSTRACT
Circus was given six times in the Reuben Gallery during February 1961. The Reuben Gallery is a deep and wide store on Manhattan’s East Third Street. The audience was seated as in a conventional theatre (and stood, when there were not enough chairs) facing a deep square stage. Over the stage were hung four strings of weak lightbulbs, producing when lit the sort of dingy light one remembers from circus tents.
