Adventurous young New Yorkers won’t have to run away to the circus this summer; the circus will be coming to them. As part of this annual festival, presented by the City Parks Foundation and supported by Disney, contemporary companies — whose acts emphasize acrobatics and physical theater rather than animals — will be offering free performances all over the city. The fun starts on Friday evening in the Bronx with three troupes — Hybrid Movement Company, the Incredible Incredible and Impact Repertory Theater — doing dance, acrobatics and illusions. Then the focus shifts to Brooklyn on Saturday and Sunday with performances by Magmanus, a Swedish company featuring a small acrobat, a large juggler and lots of flights through the air.
