Well here it is in a nut shell. The beginning, middle and end, the moment, the now. The ones that trigger hearts, open minds and put your brain in wild circles of fire. And yes this is just the beginning and of course again, over and over. Does it ever stop? Do you ever wake up? When are we up? Is this it? The time to wake up? Are you ready? Ready for what? What?! When? How? How much more. Ba-ba BOOM! A Circus is Born!
We were posted on The Green Point Blog! Check it out! Thank you Justine.

Around the King and Queen
Featuring: Marissa Mickelberg, Matthew Silver
Camera Man: Matthew Blaire
We gather crowds, people watch this bizarre world we create. Notice that people actually stand in the middle of the street. Near the end we use the keyboard to program the humans to dance. At the finale, a man who lives above the NY Muffin asks, “Is this a circus or something!” He’s angry and wants us to leave. Well Why yes, it’s a circus. A circus of FOOLS.
DO YOU SEE MY VISION, IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH RUBBER DUCKY’S
TOGETHER AGAIN! BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN? COULD IT BE? BE! BEEEEE!
Video Killed The Radio Star
Featuring: Sarah Mayti, Joanne Hsiesh, Matthew Silver, Eric
Camera Man: Peter Silberstein
Meet Bedford Ave. local, Eric, I’ve seen him a few times while performing. One time he time he bumped in to me and said he was looking for his friend Koolaid, I think he was playing a mind game with me. In this clip we are satirizing gentrification. Eric just comes into the act and performs with us. He didn’t even have to be told what to do, he knew what to say perfectly. The crowd gathers, what curious show is this. Watch as we get super excited over an imaginary building, dancing to Video Killed the Radio Star.
OY VEY IT’S MR. EGGHEAD! I’VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO! THERE IS NO TIME FOR IMAGINARY LAND!
WHAT YOU GUYS WANT? I JUST WANT SOME GARBAGE.
Children and Adults Watch From a Curious Distance
Featuring: Sarah Mayti, Matthew Silver
Camera Man: Trey Parker
We are here, but are we here? People watch the silly fools. Why, what are they doing? All I sense are smiles. As long as people have a good time.
JOIN ME AND DANCE ON THE CROSSWALK OR WATCH ME OR GO ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.
Chicken Man Cometh
Featuring: Sarah Mayti, Matthew Silver
Camera Man: Trey Parker
First we start out arguing from across the street, a man gives me a cup of gin, I pour it down my fake bottle. We forgive each other. People watch in confusion. We start dancing to a song about bunny rabbits, a man in a full body chicken suit approaches us, danced with us (including others) and then disappeared. He wasn’t part of the act, he was just a man in a chicken suit.
INTERESTING? ARE WE TALKING THE SAME LANGUAGE?
NO WE’RE NOT TALKING THE SAME LANGUAGE, BUT YOU LOOK LIKE A FUNNY MAN, AND WE WILL LAUGH AT YOU FUNNY MAN.
FUNNY MAN WHY DO YOU GIVE US ONE CRUTCH?
Knighting and Fighting
Featuring: Marissa Mickelberg, Matthew Silver
Camera Man: Matthew Blaire
Through out this performance we knight people on Bedford Ave. Here we knight two town locals and then send them to battle, but they wish not to battle because they believe in the power of LoVe.
WATER IN YOUR FACE! YOU ANNOYING VILLAGE IDIOT!
I’M NOT A VILLAGE IDIOT, I JUST LIKE TALKING TO MYSELF.
THEY’RE ALL AFTER ME! ALL OF THEM! PLEASE GOOD OLD WISDOM MAN UP ABOVE. SAVE ME!

Venturing through the gentrified parts of brooklyn, one would not expect to come across such an absurd act of levity that has become all the rave; known to us as the bcfools circus troupe. We have grown to accustomed to the dead pan, pseudo-intellectual, vacuous, gaze of the hipster culture. Hold on! following in the wake of the proverbial stoic hipster whom have meander the streets in circles searching for their long lost clones only to find them in their own reflections, comes the bcfools clown troupe, whom have single handedly, through their acts of joy and celebration, allowed life to spring again from a once thought dead artistic community. The concrete that had, until recently, been covered in the snail like secretions that tend to seep from hipsters from time to time, has been turned to gold. The bc fools circus troupe has given the streets of Williamsburg’s, Greenpoint, and on occasion Bushwick, a reason to wake up in the morning. Put down that cigarette, get off that chair beside the windowsill, don’t just stare out at the streets, join the BCFOOLS circus troupe. and become the streets!!!
