Canadian circus cancels U.S. tour

Cirque Eos, a 4-year-old Canadian troupe of jugglers, acrobats and high-wire artists, has pulled the plug on its North American tour, which was to have included stops in Los Angeles and Costa Mesa.

“Unfortunately, our tour has not been as financially successful as we had hoped.... We are going to have to find a new way to develop this territory,” Cirque Eos President Michel Rousseau said in a news release.

The group of 20 performers had been scheduled to appear at Dodger Stadium Dec. 4 and at the Orange County Fair & Exposition Center on Feb. 13. Ticket holders for those events should return to the point of purchase for a refund.
