Eagan Civic Center at the corner of Parker Road and Waterford Drive.\u00a0 \u201cNo seat is further than 20 feet from the action,\u201d says Zopp\u00e9. Free, public performances of the 60-minute circus will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday, May 2 and at 11 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 3.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pirate School, Bubble Bus Back<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a \u201cpirate school\u201d taught by professional actor David Engel will be staged at 8 p.m. on Friday, May 2 and at 12 noon and 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 3.\u00a0 Other acts to be featured at the annual Valley of Flowers Festival include Babaloo Music and Fun, Kincaid Karacter Puppets, RW Magic and the Cinco de Mayo Band.\u00a0 A \u2018bubble bus\u2019 will be available from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 3 and tours of the \u201cGypsy Rose III Pirate Ship\u201d will be held throughout the day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 3.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to offer visitors to our annual Valley of Flowers Festival the opportunity to see one of the greatest examples of the traditional Italian circus still performing,\u201d said Thomas P. Schneider, Mayor of Florissant.\u00a0 \u201cNino the Clown has delighted audiences for decades in St. Louis, around the country and throughout Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based in suburban Chicago, Zopp\u00e9 an Italian Family Circus features 20 circus artists, including aerialists, acrobats, jugglers, dancing dogs, equestrian ballerinas and Nino the Clown.\u00a0 The circus is propelled by a central story.\u00a0 This year\u2019s theme has Nino unsuccessfully trying to join the circus, and his humorous attempts to perform under the Big Top.<\/p>\n<p>As the New York Times has described it, \u201cthe Zopp\u00e9 circus evokes something from a picture book\u2026the show is frozen in a time long before the high-concept, high-dollar Cirque du Soleil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 47-year-old Zopp\u00e9, who survived a near-fatal fall 25 years ago, says that \u201cnobody knows what a real circus is.\u00a0 (Ours) is like the circus was 100 years ago.\u201d\u00a0 As its Zopp\u00e9 an Italian Family Circus web site notes, the venerable troupe became one of the legendary circuses in all of Europe, more of an event than a show.<\/p>\n<p>Zopp\u00e9, who was the youngest performer ever inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame, estimates that 250 of his family members have worked in a circus, most of them as bareback riders.\u00a0 Zopp\u00e9 himself at age 9 was the youngest performer ever to do a somersault on horseback.\u00a0 His first love, however, is comedy, becoming a professional clown at the advanced age of 10 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy character name, Nino, was actually my nickname when I was younger,\u201d he told a reporter several years ago.\u00a0 \u201cIn Italian families, when you are a boy they attach \u2018ino\u2019 to your name, and so I was Giovannino\u00a0 &#8212;\u00a0 Nino.\u00a0 Nino is really just me, my child self, a human being with flaws, except playing all of my faults larger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The City of Florissant presents its Festival performing arts events with financial support from the Regional Arts Commission and the Missouri Arts Council.
