About Dream Circus

Our Story
The History of Dream Circus Theatre
Dream Circus Theatre (DCT) came out of the mid-90s LA underground — the first on that scene to merge fire dancers, aerialists, performance artists, and art installations with a DJ dance-party environment.
DCT created the costume-themed “I AM” event series, weaving roaming performers and interactive electronica theatre into nights that became a movement.
“Art has the power to bring people together and create a more connected world.”
Milestones
From Underground to the World Stage
Through Qtopia and Insomniac, DCT built Dream Circus Village at Electric Daisy Carnival (2003–2004), where the epic “I Am Cosmic” was born — and later toured 35 Lollapalooza dates in 8 weeks across 20,000 miles.
