Circus Abyssinia's brand-new spectacle Tulu leaves you wanting more—in the best possible way. The exhilarating Ethiopian troupe returns to the New Victory Theater with Tulu, a cavalcade of gravity-defying athletic acts in tribute to the legendary long-distance runner Derartu Tulu, the first African woman to win an Olympic gold medal. Featuring a cast of nine and running just an hour, Tulu is smaller and more intimate than Circus Abyssinia's last eye-popping extravaganza, Ethiopian Dreams, which played at the New Vic in 2018. But there are benefits to the scaled-down scope, especially for families. Because of the abbreviated running time, very young theatergoers likely won't get fidgety and audiences of all ages will be in awe of the performers' versatility!

I'm sure she's not the only one feeling this way after exploring its eye-popping murals, sprawling water table, and Bronx-inspired exhibits
