I've never seen ANYTHING like it! The word "circus" seems wrong really, it's certainly not a sawdust ring and cheesy clowns. You actually don't sit down for the whole performance, you stand up and move around the tent as the acts go on. The performers mingle with the crowds at first and do daft things, there's a smallish woman who drags around a large rubber duck, a couple sipping tea above you, men in trilbies and suits pipe smoking, and guys in strange aprons everywhere (riggers). When it kicks off it's STUNNING and you get herded around the tent as the acts unfold - the first act involves 6 of them suspended horizontally by ropes and riggings, backlit and moving/twisting to the music, there is a live jazz band supplying the music, there are STUNNING tr***eze acts, a girl rolling a ciggie while she tightropes, trampoline mentalist, firey hula hoops, guys riding large hoops along the floor - you have to go see it!!! I was totally blown away. They get changed in front of you, they randomly hang above you eating apples, it's SO COOL
Get a ticket for today or you will *really* miss out
They are £15 but totally worth it!
