SANTÉ!

APRIL 14 – 18, 2026

Multiple Venues • Tucson, Arizona

FREE TO ATTEND • PAY WHAT YOU WISH CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOMED

Get ready for a circus spectacular unlike anything you have seen before — performed on top of a food truck! Quebec's dazzling Cirque Kikasse brings the heat with SANTÉ!, where high-flying acrobatics meet pure infectious energy in a feast for the senses. Watch in awe as the troupe transforms ordinary tables and chairs into a towering 35-foot balancing act, turns cleanup into trampoline-powered comedy, and showers the crowd with a playful explosion of popcorn.

This high-energy tour de force showcases remarkable virtuosity that will thrill even the most seasoned circus fans while delighting your inner child. Expect sky-high balancing acts that defy belief, explosive trampoline stunts, non-stop spectacles, and the irresistible energy of world-traveling circus artisans who have been creating daring, unforgettable productions since Cirque Kikasse's founding in 2020.

SANTÉ! brings the magic of the circus right to the heart of Tucson. Come hungry, come curious — and leave amazed. Grab the whole family and catch these gravity-defying performers as they turn the everyday into the extraordinary.

“Impressive feats of death-defying acrobatics”

Subject: 🛎️Yes and News - 4/2/26

Saturday, we'll be taking a night off from shows, for a pretty exciting reason. The University of Arizona Men's Basketball Team is headed to the Final Four! With the game happening during our usual show times (and with 4th Avenue expected to be especially busy), we're hitting pause to let everyone enjoy the moment. Big shoutout to Coach Lloyd and the team we'll be cheering right along with Tucson!

But we've still got a great Friday night lined up with three hilarious shows. Join us for Unformatted, our indie improv showcase, where teams bring their own unique styles to the stage. We're especially excited to welcome Monocle from Unscrewed Theater as part of the lineup. We love this partnership with our sister theater, where every other month we send a team back and forth to perform on the other's stage. It's always a treat to connect with the hilarious comedy scene in our community.

We'll see you Friday! Enjoy the Final Four weekend! Bear Down!!

(Re)telling Tucson's Story
Friday night at 7:30pm

Sarah grew up moving between small Arizona towns before landing in the heart of Tucson's vibrant community scene, where she blends her passion for people, creativity, and a little bit of chaos ✨ By day, she's a data-driven problem solver, and by night and weekends, you'll find her working out in her home gym with her dog Frita, exploring Tucson's diverse food scene, supporting local causes, and building meaningful connections across the city 🌵 Along the way, she's collected a wide range of real-life moments, from the everyday to the unexpected, that occasionally turn into stories worth sharing 🎤

Everyone has a story to tell. Four short and personal stories from our special guest at 7:30pm will inspire Tucson's premier improv comedy team.

We Jest But We Don't Fool

Hi there William,

Looking for something fun (and a little unexpected) this weekend?

Come hang out at Unscrewed Theater! We've got live improv shows Friday and Saturday night, completely made up on the spot, fueled by your suggestions, and guaranteed to make you laugh at least once… probably a lot more.

Bring a friend, bring a date, bring that one person who "doesn't like improv" (we love a challenge). Remember, you can watch all of our shows online! Same ticket link. Much better than Netflix and chill.

This weekend at Unscrewed Theater is basically a choose-your-own-adventure except every choice is a good one. Shows start at 7:30 PM, with a late-night show at 9:00 PM for those who like their comedy a little extra spicy.

Grab your tickets, settle in, and let us do the rest.

See you in the seats (or on stage 👀),
Unscrewed Theater 🎉

P.S. 🌟 The Backyard — 9:00 PM Saturday
