COMMONGROUND is PS21’s free festival of street theater and new circus, where renowned international companies explore the boundaries of what’s physically possible in participatory performances across PS21’s grounds.
Food and drink will be available all weekend long. Bring your whole family, and join in on the excitement as we close our summer season.
The companies—Basinga (France) and Kaleider (UK)—will be in residence at PS21 for the week leading up to the festival. Basinga will be offering free tightrope workshops all week long.
Space for each performance is limited, so please register in advance. Join us!

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Basinga is a french company gathered around the art of high-wire walking. Through research, teaching, sharing and through the production of high-quality participative shows, Basinga seeks to develop, expand, transmit and communicate this art which, better than any other, illustrates how our greatness is based on our weaknesses and our ability to combine them. What brings us together, makes us stronger.
