Overview
The big top is back! UniverSoul Circus brings its new WE ALL BELONG production to Indianapolis, transforming the iconic purple and yellow tent into the city's hottest destination for affordable family fun and featuring an all-star cast, pulse-pounding circus thrills, breathtaking stunts, and interactive entertainment.
A circus like no other, UniverSoul Circus offers something special: a place where people come together to laugh, cheer and celebrate the shared bonds of love and humanity.
"The goal is simple. In a world where people often focus on differences, WE ALL BELONG reminds us that music, movement, laughter, culture and human connection blur the lines between us and explore the point where cultures meet and ultimately unite through joy, rhythm and shared experience," said Cedric Walker, founder and CEO of UniverSoul Circus.
From flying motorcycles and fire-breathing stilt walkers to an elite roller skating troupe and audience dance parties, WE ALL BELONG delivers a high-energy experience that puts audiences at the heart of the action.
As part of WE ALL BELONG, UniverSoul is also taking the show to the streets through its "The City Is The Stage" initiative with pop-up performances and community appearances across the region.
A journey of unity, culture, and connection
UniverSoul Circus was created in Atlanta in 1994 by Cedric Walker, a former production manager for The Commodores who later became a rap music entrepreneur and live show producer. For more than three decades, the show has redefined family entertainment while creating an enduring tradition enjoyed by generations – from toddlers and teens to parents and grandparents.
Inspired by Walker's belief in “celebrating the joy that connects us all,” WE ALL BELONG explores the values and experiences that unite people from all walks of life. The show draws on the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance and global influences of Motown, Soul Train and hip hop culture, while highlighting the ways music, dance and storytelling resonate across generations and borders.
Opening with the emotional declaration, "We All Belong to Each Other," the immersive production explores the intersection of cultures through electrifying performances and audience engagement, creating moments of inspiration, glee and discovery.
World-class performers take center stage
Highlights for 2026 include an electrifying Ethiopian Pole Act featuring dizzying spins and poses on a towering vertical pole; Power of Love, a graceful ballerina act; and the Morning Doves, a mesmerizing aerial lyra duo from Mongolia and Ethiopia that blends beauty, emotion and daring skill.
Also in the lineup are the Soul Skaters, an ultra-stylized roller-skating troupe from Cuba and the U.S. whose elite acrobatics and choreography are set to hard-hitting beats; Double Vision, a strong-man hand-balance duo from the Dominican Republic; and a high-flying Zhukau Swing acrobatic act from Russia.
Audience favorites are returning, including the Caribbean Street Carnival, featuring 20-foot dancing puppets, fire-breathing stilt dancers, and vibrant folklore characters. Fresh the Clownsss keep the crowds entertained with their hilarious antics. And high above the big top floor, daring motorcycle stunt artists perform heart-stopping flips and dives 60 feet in the air.
More than a performance, UniverSoul Circus places audiences in the heart of the action. One moment, guests are cheering from their seats. The next, they are dancing in the aisles, singing karaoke, and sharing unforgettable moments with performers from around the world.
