OmniCircus

Bio:

OmniCircus Junkyard Cabaret and Robot Ensemble is a performing ensemble and film production company. It was founded in 1988 by composer-artist Frank Garvey. Our live shows integrate dark-industrial cabaret with life-sized surreal robotics and midi-controlled virtual-reality (VRpit) performers. Our movies run the gamut from music-video shorts to surreal documentaries to full-on feature length musical-drama such as our recently completed 3-hour film WALL of ASHES. OmniCircus' performing ensemble, DeusMachina, has a catalog of recordings on the Gate 6 label and the American Composer's Forum innova label.

The Robotic Ensemble of the OmniCircus is a mechanical red-light district, a troupe of mechanical beggars, hookers, junkies and street-preachers who appear in OmniCircus shows and engage in mysterious cyborg guerilla theater on the city streets.

BELOW is the MAGIC OMNICIRCUS WINDOW with an ever-growing collection of OmniCircus videos including music-videos, favorites such as our GOBOY documentary, excerpts from classic live shows, plus interviews and features stories about us from various television shows.

NOTE: Be sure to stop playing the song in our audio player first, or it will sound like a meth convention in a Guitar Center showroom.
