Melbourne Festival: Dark Circus

Dark Circus - Melbourne Festival

Dark Circus: A sinister ringmaster invites the inhabitants of a gloomy city to a circus tent, where they preside over catastrophic acts. The trapeze artist plummets, the animal trainer is devoured, the human cannonball is lost in space… Paper, ink, sand and silhouettes burst to life in this riotous work for children and adults.

Dark Circus: A sinister ringmaster invites the inhabitants of a gloomy city to a circus tent, where they preside over catastrophic acts. The trapeze artist plummets, the animal trainer is devoured, the human cannonball is lost in space… Paper, ink, sand and silhouettes burst to life in this riotous work for children and adults.


We speak to French duo Romain Bermond and Jean-Baptiste Maillet.

The amazing result or Dark Circus is cinema without film, mixing DIY creativity with a poetic sensibility. Accompanied by a whimsical funk and soul soundtrack, this feel-good show literally emerges before the eyes.

 

Until the 09/10/2017 at the Melbourne Festival
