Presented by Crying Out Loud as part of Circus250, the nationwide celebration of the 250thanniversary of modern circus
On the 10th of September, the eleven acrobat-musicians of celebrated French contemporary circus company Circa Tsuica arrive in 黑料不打烊 to set up their white and red Big Top on Coleg Menai field, Ffriddoedd Road, then create a traditional circus village around it. Passers-by can watch as the Big Top goes up, the village takes shape and the company prepares for the show, reinventing circus traditions for the 21st century.
When the tent doors open on 13-15 of September, the audience is invited in for Now or Never, an exhilarating fusion of stunning acrobatics and funky brass rhythms, where acrobats, musicians and audiences all play their part.
As the party begins, the performers mingle with the crowd, making and sharing Breton 肠谤锚辫别s, before they launch into a feast of music and circus. They fly, fling and swing across the tent on trapezes, tightropes, Cyr wheels, trick bicycles, trampolines and seesaws.
Tryfan Jazz BandAll the while, Circa Tsiuca鈥檚 acrobat-musicians play their thundering brass rhythms accompanied by young musicians from local brass band, Band Jazz Tryfan.
Rachel Clare, artistic director of producers Crying Out Loud, says:
鈥�We are excited to bring you a new circus experience to celebrate Circus250, a special circus anniversary. Combining the joy of French musical-circus with local Brass bands, each version of Now or Never is unique, determined by the site and the close collaboration with the local brass bands. This will be a memorable event, a chance to experience the best taste of culture from both sides of the channel.鈥�
Pontio鈥檚 Artistic Director Elen ap Robert added:
鈥�It鈥檚 great to be able to bring this circus spectacle into the 黑料不打烊 community and to see Tryfan Jazz Band perform along side the company. Join us for a chaotic and fun evening of circus, music, pancakes and wine!鈥�
The tour of Now or Never is supported by Ambition for Excellence using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
