This solo show is autobiographical for Ed Roth - based on their real life story and experience growing up in a household founded on abuse caused from parental mental illnesses. Through the beauty and freedom of movement and circus, Ed will show the traumas from their father’s very extreme OCD and the violence he took out on his family for him to be able to cope. In the years since their separation from the abuse, Ed had to break the form that they had been molded into. “The Bikes Live in The Basement” is a story of finally finding oneself from within after years of being told who you are and who you must be by external forces. 

I’m excited to keep sharing and creating circus during the pandemic, and to find new ways for our art form to thrive in these uncertain times. Join me in keeping the circus alive! Thank you kindly for your time and please let me know if you have any questions.
