About the Event

The April 19 Circus History Live! program will feature world-renown circus cross bow artists Ottavio and Naomi Gesmondo!

Ottavio Gesmundo and Naomi Brenkman Gesmundo hold two Guinness World Records for their thrilling act that combines dance, whips, and death defying crossbow stunts. Ottavio has performed on Broadway, TV, and with many circuses as a dancer, singer, actor, and Las Vegas stuntman. Naomi lends her martial arts, classical dance, and choreography skills to their innovative, jaw dropping act.

Circus Historical Society vice president Chris Berry will host this session.
