| Interstella Circus Show - Brighton Festival, Spiegel tent, 22 May 2009The show: You never know what to expect with these possibly arty farty "festival" type Circuses. But this was actually "true" Circus through and through. Small, intimate and friendly, brought together well by an entertaining ringmaster with white face - it took you back more to victorian times than anything Cirque du soliel (thank goodness!). The show included many stars from Britains got talent including the famous contortionist who started the show, along with ariel hoop acts, acrobatics, balancing, juggling, hula hoop act, pole climbing (very different take on that with the coca cola advert diet coke break theme used) and a dance routine with the "phoney ponies" - all in elaborate Zebra outfits! It was pure entertainment from start to finish! I hope it returns next year! Housekeeping: I always thought the Spiegel tent would be a perfect venue for a Circus show and I was right! A great 2 hour show. You can read more reviews and photos at my Circus Days website http://circusdays.webs.com | |
