In North Beach, San Francisco, the historic Club Fugazi made famous by its show Bleach Blanket Babylon which ran for 45 years now offers a far more elegant circus "Dear San Francisco" in which Rafael Jesús González has a tiny part that if you do not pay close attention you will miss.

In September 2021, The 7 Fingers artistic collective debuted Dear San Francisco. Powered by acrobatics, choreography, spoken word, video projections, shadow play, and original music, the new resident show brings audiences on a romp through both the essence and the myth of San Francisco. From the Gold Rush and 1906 earthquake, to beat poetry and the mysterious fog, San Francisco comes vividly to life, performed by an international cast of world-class acrobats across a variety of disciplines - including hoop diving, Chinese pole, Korean plank, hand-balancing, juggling, and “hand-to-trap”. San Francisco Chronicle gave the show its highest rating, calling it "a love letter not just to the city but also to the human body."
