Japan’s most talked-about contemporary circus company delivers a truly extraordinary theatrical experience under the Lafayette Circus tent.
Upon arrival, the stage appears minimalistic, but this transforms as the artists synchronise their performances with a stunning graphical light show projected on a screen at the back of the stage. The show begins quietly, building anticipation, and it doesn’t disappoint.
A captivating diabolo performance is executed with perfect precision, synchronised seamlessly with the visual effects, as the artists display remarkable agility and grace, making these challenging tricks seem effortless. The powerful trapeze act is breathtaking, as the artist fearlessly executes death-defying twists and turns from the towering heights of the circus tent. The tension escalates as a performer skilfully climbs and balances atop a precarious stack of chairs high above the stage, leaving the audience quite literally on the edge of their seats.
The mesmerising aerial silk routine is so enthralling that it’s easy to forget just how difficult these jaw-dropping acrobatics are to perform.
One cannot overstate the immense time and effort required to create this truly theatrical circus experience. It was absolutely amazing, and I highly recommend seeing this show.
