LIQUID by New York Circus Project
2025-05-29 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York) | Dock5 Warehouse Event Rental, 1309 5th St NE, Washington, DC, 20002, United States
LIQUID by New York Circus Project is a 75-minute punk rock circus party where punk rock collides with jaw-dropping spectacle. Follow a reclusive salesman as he’s pulled into a wild punk world filled with acrobats, tap dancers, and aerialists from around the world, navigating chaos with a pulsating soundtrack from The Ramones to Avril Lavigne. From the moment you arrive, the show surrounds you: graffiti streaks, neon lights and a full bar serving craft cocktails from the minds behind Jack Daniel’s and Diplomatico Rum. Lace up your leather boots: LIQUID is calling. Get tickets now!
The creators of last year’s acclaimed HAMLET, including alumni of Cirque du Soleil, Broadway, American Idol and the National Circus School, invite you to dive into LIQUID.

Everyone has a defining moment in their life—a door that closed and another that opened. These threshold experiences often mark our most powerful personal metamorphoses, guiding us from pain to purpose, from fear to clarity, from the known to The Unknown Zone. Join immersive artist Brooke Einbender, also known as Mindbender, for a creative, hands-on workshop inspired by her public art installation The Unknown Zone. This experience invites you to reflect on the dualities of life and express your own transformation story through both visual art and writing. In this workshop, you’ll paint your own mini portal—crafted from a wood panel shaped like a door—and embellish it with fun mixed media materials. Then, you’ll write your story of transformation through a simple guided prompt that helps you reflect on a personal threshold you’ve crossed. No experience needed—just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore!
