Dear Circadium Community,
We are writing to share some deeply upsetting news.
Less than a month before opening night, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has withdrawn its $15,000 grant for our 2025 end-of-year show, The Garden of Earthly Delights. This production—created and performed by our graduating class under the direction of famed French director Daniel Gulko—is scheduled to premiere May 30–31 as part of the Philadelphia Contemporary Circus Festival.
