Cirque Us: One Mans Trash

Upper Valley Circus Collective is thrilled to be teaming up with Cornish Elementary School

Not only do we get to support artists who are working to create these amazing shows for you but we also get to support the school community in which UVCC has a summer home. It is always a wonderful feeling to help in your hometown!

So, without further ado we are proud to present to you...

One Mans Trash

Grab your garbage bags, pick up the recycling, and get ready to laugh and cheer as this repurposed circus turns trash into treasure! 

Originally produced in 2016 and following the overwhelming success of its 2022 & 2023 revivals, “One Man’s Trash” is back again in 2025 for its 5th national tour. With the limitless spirit and can-do attitude of the circus, this cast reclaims and reanimates all that’s left in trash cans and littered in the garage to create a junkyard adventure like none other. 

Featuring a variety of unique and daring circus acts, the show is a testament to the power of community and teamwork. Be it the pass of a juggling club or the leap of an acrobat, “One Man’s Trash” is ready to prove what we’re capable of--what we’re all capable of--together. 

Truly, our band of inventive acrobats, high-flying aerialists, and quirky clowns are just bursting to welcome you into their world! 

The dumpster doors are wide open-- we can’t wait for you to jump in!
