‘Once a Century the circus wakes up’, so the tale goes in the astounding Cirque du Temps, My Aerial Home Event’s latest professional circus production.
Directed by Amanda Miles and featuring some of the brightest aerialists in the UK, famous circus performers from all around the world from the last 100 years are resurrected on the stage in a brilliant homage to the women who paved the way through the twentieth century.
The ringleader of the circus troupe, played elegantly by Malik Ibheis, demands a child (‘Little Lola’) be taken to join their troupe and be shown the ropes of the circus. While the premise itself is dark, the company’s take on it is refreshingly wholesome and tender.
