OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (March 13, 2025) — The Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC) presents “One Man’s Trash: A Repurposed Circus” for one performance only on Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m.
Originally produced in 2016, the Cirque Us show “One Man’s Trash” is back again in 2025 for its fifth national tour following the overwhelming success of the 2022 and 2023 revivals. With the limitless spirit and can-do attitude of the circus, this cast reanimates all that’s left in trash cans and littered in the garage to create an astonishing testament to the power of community and teamwork.
“The circus is coming to OCCC for a special Sunday afternoon show,” said Mark Levine, director of the VPAC. “Grab your garbage bags, pick up the recycling, and get ready to laugh and cheer as this repurposed circus turns trash into treasure!”
Since its founding in 2016, Cirque Us has rapidly grown into one of the most notable contemporary circus companies in the country. Its eight original company members quite literally stitched a show together with recycled materials and old car tires, culminating in the first tour of “One Man’s Trash” in 2016. Since then, Cirque Us has expanded to produce and tour original, full-length works year after year, alongside educational experiences such as camps, workshops and other events for people of all ages and abilities.
Tickets are on sale now for “One Man’s Trash” and all remaining shows for the 2024-25 season at occc.edu/tickets or by calling the Box Office at 405-682-7579.
Season ticket packages for the 2025-26 Performing Arts Series will be on sale starting April 12, and the Box Office will be open on April 13 at 1 p.m. before “One Man’s Trash.” Don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to preview the show lineup and secure seats for the upcoming season.
