Cirque Eloize "ringer" to visit Boston with the whole Cirque gang

Lexington native Jonas Woolverton doing his thing for Cirque Éloize

Tenley Woodman had a chat with Lexington High School graduate and Dresden Dolls...well, doll, I guess, Jonas Woolverton, of Cirque Éloize for yesterday's Boston Herald:

"Woolverton, 29, is a four-year veteran of the Montreal-based arts troupe. He splits his time contorting his form in “Rain” - which begins a six-day run at the Cutler Majestic Theatre on Tuesday - and performing with the Boston rock duo Dresden Dolls.

'It’s this ongoing collaboration,' Woolverton said of his work with the Dolls’ Amanda Palmer, who was a classmate at Lexington High School.

Hopefully with Rain I bring some of that rock ’n’ roll, fiery element to it. With the Dresden Dolls I think what we are trying to do is bring our experiences as actors and clowns (to the stage). To do a circus act in the middle of a rock club, people don’t expect that at all."

Cirque Éloize and Jonas Woolverton begin their run at the Cutler Majestic Theatre tomorrow evening and continue through Sunday.
