Italian family circus Zoppé returns to Redwood City for the 16th consecutive year and presents a brand new theme: Carnavale di Venezia.
The circus and Italian comedy have always been related, being two of the oldest works of performing art. At the heart of this Italian spectacle is the Venetian Carnival, which comes to life under the big top of the Zoppé Family Circus.
Event attendees will be enthralled this season as the circus brings its authentic single-ring tent for a 2-hour immersive circus production.
The Zoppé Family Circus is an event that takes place once a year, which makes it the perfect time to share a different show with the family.
The Zoppé Family Circus welcomes visitors in an authentic circus tent that pays tribute to the best story of Old World Italian tradition. Starring the clown Nino, and sometimes featuring his son Julien, the circus is driven by a central story (as opposed to individual acts) featuring acrobatic feats, equestrian spectacle, canine capers, clowns, and plenty of audience participation.
GA tickets are bleachers with no assigned seating. VIP tickets are premium ringside seats, padded chairs with backrests. No assigned seats. Guests can arrive 30 minutes before the show for a unique pre-show experience.
The circus arrived in Redwood City Redwood City and opened its doors on Nov. 9 and its show will be open to the public until the 27th of this month, for which it has designated two daily performances starting at 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 and $27.
Zoppe Italian Family Circus is located at 1044 Middlefield Road Redwood City.

San José Art Museum opens Encode/Store/Retrieve exhibition
On Dec. 8, the San José Museum of Arts announces the opening of its Encode/Store/Retrieve exhibition, and to celebrate this occasion it plans to hold a reception for its members.
The memory landscape has changed dramatically throughout the digital age, marked by the ease and speed with which we can record, store and share information. Through digital technologies, almost anyone can participate in the production of memory at any time. However, the ever-growing digital archive has significant financial and ecological impacts that we must address.
Encode/Store/Retrieve brings together artworks primarily from SJMA’s collection to explore low-tech forms of memory production from the past sixty years. The sculptures, paintings, photographs, installations and works on paper gathered here are organized into thematic groupings that reference the key processes underlying cognitive and computational models of memory: encoding, storage and retrieval. By bringing together conversations about digital, biological, institutional, and ecological memory, the artists in this exhibition provide us with strategies to address emerging issues in our growing digital archive.
Some of the artists featured in this exhibition are: Wallace Berman, Val Britton, Jim Campbell, Enrique Chagoya, Chryssa, Binh Danh, Steven Deo, Bruce Hasson, Xandra Ibarra, Dinh Q. Lê, Darlene Nguyen-Ely, Margaret Nielsen , Harold Paris, Beverly Rayner, Analia Saban. Katherine Sherwood, Rose B. Simpson, Stephanie Syjuco, Stella Waitzkin, Xiaoze Xie, among others.
The reception is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 8 from 6 to 7 p.m., while the inauguration will be this same day from 6 to 9 p.m., completely free and will be open to the public until Sunday, April 21, 2024.
The SJMA is located at 110 Mercado Sur street, San José.
