THE CIRCUS COMES TO NEW YORK – REVITALIZING URBAN NIGHT LIFE. :clap2: Joining forces with famed aerialist Seanna Sharpe, Lil’ Kim’s multi-platinum music producer Klen “Shaft†Raphael launches an unparalleled late night circus attraction in NYC. The music world intertwines with theatric fun like never before. New York, NY – During the fourth of July week, Shaft redefines New York City’s nightlife scene with a premiere circus show dubbed “Mardi Gras NYâ€. On July 3rdand July 5th, “Mardi Gras NY†will showcase actual circus theatrics at the hottest clubs and venues in the City. Combining his years of experience in the music and entertainment industries, Shaft, founder and CEO of Mardi Gras NY, has established a way to bring wholesome clean fun back to New Yorkers and the millions who visit this great City. After a chance meeting with famed aerialist Seanna Sharpe, renowned for scaling the Williamsburg Bridge in 2011 (http://vimeo.com/32322469), Shaft partnered with the courageous talent to make “a circus for the people†a reality. Not afraid to perform 285 feet over one of the City’s iconic bridges, Seanna brings the same fire, passion and fearlessness to “Mardi Gras NYâ€. Circus goers can catch her remarkable performances, as well as a slew of others in events that are guaranteed to leave people gasping. The July 3rd show will feature aerialists and all acrobatics that take place in the air. The July 5th show will feature all theatrics on the ground. So whether you like watching amazing feats on a wire, or looking at a person run through a ring of fire, there will be something for everyone. Thursday’s event will be more low-key and laidback; on Saturday, ladies grab your heels, and fellas, put away the sneakers. Following an impressive track record producing platinum hits for the likes of Lil’ Kim and a multitude of P. Diddy’s Bad Boy artists, managing famed DJs, and responsible for virtually every major party in New York’s urban scene for the last two decades, Shaft has set his sights on providing an incredible show the whole family can eventually enjoy. It’s about bringing good, positive attractions back to the City – but with the style and flavor that only Shaft can deliver. Too often, the urban community is ignored or just fed the same negative stereotypes and ideas. “Mardi Gras NY†challenges that notion and brings excitement, fun and entertainment back to what it should be. The bold stunts of Seanna, combined with Shaft’s unmatched industry relationships and experience, guarantee that the circus will never be the same. Welcome to the new era of New York City’s nightlife.
