Underbelly
We love the Revel Puck Circus….they are colourful, chaotic, relaxed and exhilerating- the Nose Dive Assembly blew us away, being all of these things and more !
At the heart of the show is Pierrot, the mischievous mistress of ceremonies, whose determined (and delightfully disastrous) attempts to fly had us in fits of laughter. Around her, the rest of the troupe deliver a masterclass in aerial and acrobatic artistry: giant swings soaring through the tent, daring teeterboard launches, a mesmerising double cyr wheel routine, and at one point the floor itself even takes to the skies ! The energy never dips, thanks to a perfectly pitched soundtrack that keeps the momentum high and the atmosphere electric. The grand finale, the Wheel of Death, is a showstopper, thrillingly unique, eliciting numerous gasps from the entire audience. It’s an extraordinary demonstration of trust, balance and nerve, and was definitely something we had never witnessed before!
This is contemporary circus at its most joyful, where the performers’ own delight is as infectious as their skill. Grab some popcorn, settle in, and prepare to be swept up in a world of heart, humour, and high-flying wonder.
Our mini-reviewer said : ‘It was irresistibly jaw dropping, the wheel of death sounded cool and was totally my favourite part’
