(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- The fully renovated State Theatre New Jersey presents MUSE featuring Cirque FLIP Fabrique on Wednesday, March 22 at 7:30pm. Tickets range from $29-$59.
From Québec City, Canada, Cirque FLIP Fabrique is known globally for their contemporary circus productions. Performed at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2022, FLIP Fabrique’s 10th production MUSE explores gender identity in circus style. Through acrobatics, MUSE attempts to answer the question of “What does it mean to be a woman?” To showcase that there is more than one answer, the performers will explore gender archetypes they may not identify with, such as choosing to wear a football uniform or ballet outfit.
The touring production will feature circus artists Jérémie Arsenault (diablo), Kata Banhegyi (jump rope), Hugo Duquette (trapeze), Anne-Marie Godin (trapeze), Frédérique Hamel (trampoline), Evelyne Paquin-Lanthier (trapeze), and Cédrik Pinault (trampoline). MUSE also features live onstage vocals by singer Flávia Nascimento.
MUSE is directed by Maxime Robin and Sophie Thibeault with artistic direction by Bruno Gagnon. The show features an original score by Millimetrik, lyrics by Valérie Clio, and arrangements by Guillaume Tondreau. MUSE also includes scenic design by Vanessa Cadrin, light design by Kevin Dubois, makeup by Nathalie Simard, and costumes by Erica Schmitz and Camila Comin.

Originally built as a silent film and vaudeville palace, State Theatre’s historic significance was honored by PBS by featuring it in its documentary series, Treasures of New Jersey, in the fall of 2018. “Treasures of New Jersey: State Theatre New Jersey” can be streamed online.
Today, State Theatre is the largest performing arts center in Central New Jersey and has welcomed more than six million people through its doors since reopening as a non-profit performing arts center in 1988.
