CircusFest 2016: Five must-see shows
Barely Methodical Troupe: Kin
Young London trio who had a hit with their first show, Bromance. This new one, Kin, expands the group to six and mixes acrobatics, parkour, b-boying and contemporary dance. It’s directed by the award-winning Ben Duke.
April 20-24, Roundhouse, NW1
Ricochet: Smoke and Mirrors
A surprise hit at last summer’s Edinburgh Fringe, the New Mexico circus duo mix aerial acrobatics with emotional resonance in a story about transcending the daily drudge
April 19-31, Jacksons Lane, N6
La Poème by Jeanne Mordoj
Mordoj is a French clown with a cult following, a contortionist and juggler and formerly a bearded lady! A one-off performer whose piece lies somewhere between circus and live art.
April 15-16, Roundhouse, NW1
Things to do in London this Easter
Ockham’s Razor: Tipping Point
If you missed this at the Platform Theatre in January (and you’re anywhere near N12) it’s worth catching a lovely show from the Brit circus group, who turn simple staging into something magical.
April 20-24, artsdepot, N12
Transfiguration by Ben Hopper
A free exhibition by photographer Hopper featuring images of circus artists contorted into startling abstract shapes.
April 4-24, Roundhouse, NW1
