Clown, Acrobat & Juggler

Family Circus 2.0

Theatre, Circus & Sleep Deprivation

Two circus artists decide to have a child – and suddenly the world turns upside down. Trapeze training with sleep deprivation, stage rehearsals with baby brain, piece development while changing nappies. And is mum actually allowed to perform at the club at night while dad puts the child to bed?

A 50min circus & theatre show with acrobatics, trapeze, juggling and clowning. About the beautiful, difficult and absurd moments in the life of a circus family
