Circus Orange is a performance company that has become well known for combining fire and pyrotechnics with circus and aerial arts. Based just outside Toronto Canada in the small town of Jerseyville the company was started by a street performer named Tom Comet and an actor and dancer named Rebecca Carney in 1999. The company has created a niche among North American based entertainment providers by offering highly theatrical, large-scale European style street performances usually with a lot of pyrotechnics. These shows usually take place outdoors in city squares and public spaces and are site specific in the sense that they incorporate the local architecture. Tricycle was their first big show presented in 2006. Then came Aviator, Jumpjet, Circus Spectacle.
