Get ready to experience an amazing journey in the crazy world of Wonderland! Based on the classic by Lewis Carroll, “Alice” is an action-packed theatrical cirque experience full of surprises, amazing acts, video projection with 3-D mapping and music. Imagine the March Hare balancing on a tower of chairs during a tea party or The Mad Hatter playing crazy instruments or Alice performing acrobatics inside a giant keyhole!

“Dreaming of Wonderland” features an international cast of veteran performers from across Europe and North America, including acrobats, a 4-member handto-hand balancing act, a one-man band, and a new art form creating original creations with smoke and bubbles.

In addition to Acro Builders, Adam performed at the Circus Festival in the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom Resort in China, as well as performances in Qatar, Italy, and on cruise ships in the Mediterranean. Because of their dynamic skills ANNA MARIA DYKAS WYSOCZAŃSKA - Anna Maria brings great stage experience to her role as one of the Queen’s guards in Alice: Dreaming of Wonderland. She has performed often with her two partners, Adam (her husband), and Szymon Flisas Acro Builders.

THOMAS FAVARO - Thomas brings a unique skill of bubble art, smoke bubbles and bubble technique that is performed by very few performers around the world. He creates amazing and jaw-dropping figures using only smoke and bubbles. As such this makes him the ideal performer to assume the role of the Silk Worm in the Alice story, creating interesting and artistic smoke bubbles and rings using the hookah pipe (as was done in the original Alice in Wonderland story). Thomas debuted his role as the silk worm in my production of “Alice” in Riga Latvia in 2019 and will reprise the role again in October of 2023. In addition to his role in “Alice”, Thomas has performed on stages across Europe and South Africa including:Spain, Israel, France, South Africa among others.

In performing the role of the Silk Worm and the White Rabbit roles in Alice: Dreaming of Wonderland, Mr. Favaro provides essential support within the meaning of INA section 101(a)(15)(O)(ii).
