Omnicircus Explained

The Omnicircus was a theater, gallery and performance art space that was established in 1992 by Frank Garvey in San Francisco, California.^[1]

Omnicircus was home to Garvey’s ensemble as well as being an installation of his films, paintings, sculptures, music, photographs, and robots.^[2] The OmniCircus shows integrated live acting, music, dance and filmography with sophisticated mechanical actors and midi-controlled, computer-animated (VIRpt) performers.

The OmniCircus was forced to leave its space early in 2015.^[3]
