Zoppé Family Circus Bringing Entertainment To Arizona With Drive-In Event

If you're looking for a little more high-flying entertainment in Arizona, then you're in luck!

The Zoppé Family Circus has landed in the state, bringing a fun drive-in show to Arizona residents. The circus' run in Tempe just ended, and the next stop is Tucson.

The Zoppé Family Circus director, Giovanni Zoppé, told KGUN 9, "We're the only circus in the world that is doing anything like this right now. My family for through the last pandemic. We got through two world wars. We got through famine. We got through leprosy. We'll get through this pandemic."

Zoppé and his team of creatives plan to bring the drive-in style circus to towns all across the country, which is no small task.

"It's a huge venue, but it really feels like a small venue when we perform," Zoppé said.

There will big screens magnifying the performance, Zoppé said that even the cars in the very last row will be able to see the trapeze artists, musicians, and the human cannonball.

The cars may be distanced, but the circus' objective is to connect. Zoppé said, "The energy of the audience is pure energy. The horns honk and people get out of their car hoods to wave. I can feel my father looking down on us and smiling. I know we can do this."

The circus will be in Tucson from January 15th through the 31st.
