Touch: Circus

The circus was never about clowns.
It was about the ones who didn’t belong,
the too-much, the too-loud, the too-soft,
the glittering freaks they couldn’t hide.

We’ve taken back the tent.
Filled it with throbing bodies unafraid to be seen.
Lit it with colors that dare to glow.
Scored it with music that pulses like desire.

Featuring DJs: vRok • Sammy • SweetFeep • DJ Ben Fonik

TOUCH isn’t just a party.
It’s a pulse. A whisper. A dare.
You’re not a spectator.
You’re part of the act.
This isn’t dress-up.
It’s ritual.
Not escape,
But arrival.

Come to be moved.
Come to be seen.
Come to remember how much you still feel.

CONSENT IS THE RINGMASTER

At TOUCH, the show runs on more than spectacle.
It runs on consent, connection, and care.
This circus isn’t chaos. It’s choreographed freedom.
It’s a world where “yes” is electric, and “no” is holy.

Ask before you touch.
“No” is a complete act.
“No, thank you” is applause-worthy.
If you hear it, take a bow, and move along to your next scene.

We’re building a tent where every body feels respected, curious, and safe to explore.

Need help or feel a shift in the vibe?

ACCESS & AWARENESS UNDER THE BIG TOP

TOUCH is a 21+ event, open to all genders. The main floor is step-free, but basement and coat check require stairs. It will be crowded, loud, and dimly lit in places. Strobes may be used. It is not scent-free. All genders welcome in all restrooms. On-site EMS will be present.

VOLUNTEER: JOIN THE BACKSTAGE STRANGE

TOUCH doesn’t appear out of thin air, it’s summoned by a secret society of builders, visionaries, and beautifully strange hands. This is your invitation to step behind the velvet curtain.

As a volunteer, you’ll receive:

– A ticket to the spectacle

– Front-of-line entry — no waiting in the cold

– A seat at the table with the misfits who make the magic

– Complimentary meal for setup & strike crews

– The rare joy of creating something unforgettable

Paint the tent. Set the traps. Light the way for wandering souls.

Be the heartbeat beneath the glitter.
