About UniverSoul Circus

Founded in Atlanta in 1994 by entertainment visionary Cedric Walker, UniverSoul Circus is not just a circus — it is a cultural institution born right here in the city. What started as a bold idea to create a circus experience rooted in the urban community and the African diaspora has grown into one of the most celebrated touring live entertainment productions in the United States. UniverSoul Circus has performed for millions of fans across dozens of American cities, and Atlanta remains its spiritual home.

The show is unlike anything else in live entertainment. UniverSoul Circus fuses the classic thrill of the big top with hip-hop, R&B, African drumming, Caribbean rhythms, and comedy in a way that feels genuinely alive and audience-driven. The performers hail from across the globe — aerialists from Africa, acrobats from Asia and Latin America, clowns that break the fourth wall, and ringmasters who command the tent like concert headliners. Every act is choreographed to connect with the crowd, making the audience feel like a participant rather than a spectator.

For Atlanta, UniverSoul Circus carries deep civic pride. This city gave birth to the concept, and each return engagement is a homecoming. Local families have made attending UniverSoul Circus an annual tradition for decades, passing the experience from one generation to the next. The 2026 Atlanta engagement continues that legacy with a production that reflects the very best the company has to offer.
