CIRCO DE LA SOMBRA

Circo de la Sombra have been wowing audiences all around Europe with their charming take on the traditional travelling circus show.

Bringing together six of the finest acrobats from Spain, France, and Italy, and the renowned Napolese band, Le Grande Osim Orchestra, they create a breath-taking world where reality and gravity are left behind. In a delightful show for all ages this young group bursts with all the energy of the circus, falling from doorways, climbing on ceilings, disappearing into cupboards and popping up on the roof.  The characters will have you laughing and gasping as they transfix you with their frenetic pace, side-splitting humour, and stunning skill.  Join them in their crumbling wold and swing to the strains of the live band as they play their own unique blend of traditional European music.
