About this series: Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson live their lives without a net. Literally.13 years ago, when they created the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, they dedicated themselves to an art form and a life-style which is not for the faint of heart. Their dream is always on the verge of bankruptcy because it costs $75,000 a month to keep their show on the road and every day they risk their lives to amaze and entertain.Their show is one of the very last touring vaudeville shows in America: combining traditional circus acts like trapeze and clowns with sideshow elements like sword-swallowing, fire-eating and burlesque dancing. They work without at tent, cramming into a van with 6 of their best friends, they move from city to city every day performing in punk-rock dives, beautiful old theaters, and massive outdoor festivals. With audacity, toughness and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor this tattooed couple are the glue which holds the Cirkus together as they bushwhack through the cultural wilderness of America. This show is not about what happens on-stage but a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to live one unique American dream.
