Portland Ovations Presents

La Noce d'Alfonse with Cirque Alfonse

Thursday October 22nd @ 7 pm

Cirque Alfonse’s La Noce is a celebration of love in all its forms, where circus, live music, dance, and irreverent humor collide in a whirlwind of festive, acrobatic poetry. Perfect for the whole family, each performance honors the union of one lucky couple from the audience through a bold series of tableaux featuring aerial straps, flair bartending, teeterboard, roller skating, bungee, archery duels, juggling, tightwire, and swing dance. Rooted in Québécois folk traditions, the music of La Noce blends vintage and contemporary sounds into a live soundtrack for this unforgettable “freak show of the heart,” where audacity, physical artistry, and joyful chaos come together in a wildly original celebration shared between performers and audience alike.

Actually, Nevermind by Taylor Tomlinson is out TODAY!

As she approaches thirty-four—the same age her mother, Angela, was at her death—Tomlinson grapples with fear and ambition, identity and doubt, and all the ways her mind has changed since the day her mom died.

In these sharply observed, uproariously funny, and moving original essays, Tomlinson leads readers through a tour of her brain and her shifting opinions about everything from love and relationships, mental health and therapy, religion and s*x, food and body image, being the eldest daughter and the only woman in late-night TV, to ghosts, morning people, and more.

With the same unflinching honesty that fuels her beloved stand-up specials, she captures the dizzying contradictions of adulthood in the modern world: wanting independence while craving reassurance, chasing self-improvement while resisting change, and finally learning that certainty can be overrated. “True wisdom,” writes Tomlinson, “is accepting how little you know, and real maturity is becoming as flexible as possible. (Emotionally, not physically. Real maturity also means needing to stretch way more).”
