in 2022, New York City’s premier variety arts ensemble, the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, brought Flatbed Follies to neighborhoods across all five boroughs of the city. Presented on innovative flatbed trailers adapted into mobile venues, Flatbed Follies enabled audiences to experience an incredible and eclectic variety of talents including clowns, jugglers, aerialists, wire walkers, musicians, magicians, puppeteers, dancers, as well as a calliope wagon playing authentic circus music. Working with the NYC Department of Transportation, Bindlestiff’s Flatbed Follies brought the grand spectacle to the Open Streets and Plazas of the city.
