Host of Sparrows Aerial Circus is Richmond's own and Virginia's first professional aerial and circus arts company.

To celebrate our 15th anniversary of teaching and performing the challenging, empowering, creative arts of circus, Host of Sparrows Aerial Circus will perform “MetaMORPHOsis: The Life Cycle of the Blue Morpho Butterfly” free of charge at Agecroft Hall & Gardens on September 13th at 1pm and 4pm. For the duration of each forty-five-minute performance, our aerial silks artists will creatively interpret the journey of the blue morpho, capturing its transition from egg to caterpillar to cocoon into butterfly while suspended from a tree in the gardens. This event is FREE and open to the public in an effort to make our celebration as accessible to our community as possible. We invite anyone and everyone to bring a blanket or a lawn chair and be mesmerized by our aerial silks artists as they perform the life cycle of the beautiful blue morpho butterfly. From 12noon to 5pm, we encourage guests to enjoy the offerings of Petty Markets, which will feature over twenty local artisans, at our venue. Food trucks will be present as well.

We thank Agecroft Hall & Gardens for hosting this 15th anniversary celebration and hope you will join us on September 13th!
