The word, omnium means, “of all and belonging to all” and that is exactly what it is. Circus Omnium is about diversity, equity and inclusion celebrating our strengths and individual uniqueness. There are numerous multi-abled international performers who will delight audiences at Circus Omnium, not because of their disabilities but because of their extraordinary talents. There has never been a circus like this and there has never been a time when we needed the circus more to unite our hearts.
