Omnium means "of all and belonging to all" — and that says everything. 💙

Omnium Circus brings together performers and audiences of every ability, background, and dream, because the magic of the circus belongs to everyone. 🌟

an image features the silhouettes of a family of 4, two adults and two children, sitting in an audience watching Omnium Circus together; there’s 3 acts on stage, the King Charles Troupe, Rik Daniels and Tersit Dersu. A wisp of magic connects all the performers. One of the children has their arms up, pointing towards the stage. Bright glowing letters spell out “OMNIUM” at the back of the stage. A golden Omnium: a Bold New Circus logo sits in the top left corner. A black space near the bottom has text that says “February 22 2025 at 2 PM, 513 13th street NW Washington, D.C. use code: 3andme”.

A yellow gradient background has a snow globe with an golden Omnium: a Bold New Circus at the bottom and aerial Artist flying in the air; inside, the “snow” falls as her body soars over OMNIUM letters. She is upside down with both arms and legs extended outwards, making the shape of her body similar to a star. The words “Happy Winter Solstice” arch over the snow globe in golden yellow font as the words “to all who celebrate” arches underneath it. A soft snowflake pattern gently accents the gradient background.

We love getting messages like this! 🎉.

“As a grandparent, I enjoyed the acts as much as my 6 year old granddaughter.Those performers with disabilities were astonishing. I also liked the older performers who did quieter and funny acts and were a great addition."

In the foreground, there is a woman with long dark hair, wearing a red and blue costume, holding hands and dancing with a man in a wheelchair who is wearing a red costume. Their faces express joy. The background is a flat green screen and the floor is lit up blue. Behind them is another couple, a man with dark hair and a sleeveless shirt, holding hands and dancing with a woman’s seated in a wheelchair. The ringmaster is there in a purple costume, and a dancer is beside her doing sign language for the audience.
