The Canadian troupe FLIP Fabrique deliver a dazzling acrobatic comedy that fuses jaw-dropping skill with playful storytelling.

Five strangers are drawn to an abandoned forest house by a cryptic invitation. The show opens with a lone guest arriving during a storm; the moment he steps inside, the building springs to life, revealing echoes of its many past inhabitants. The house itself becomes a mischievous character—at one point dropping a picture frame onto the newcomer, triggering a hilariously inventive hoop routine.

Each performer claims the spotlight in turn, offering a vivid snapshot from the house’s past. The clever set transforms seamlessly between indoors and outdoors, with props—from picture frames and chairs to bowls of fruit—woven into the acrobatics, juggling and hoop performance. A trampoline blanketed in flowers delivers one of the evening’s most breathtaking sequences. Another standout moment is a spellbinding Cyr wheel performance—an exquisite blend of artistry, precision, and grace.A jaw-dropping handstand acrobatic display above the stage kept you on the edge of your seat.

Six° plays on the idea that we are all just six degrees of separation from knowing anyone. Beneath its playful surface runs a quiet emotional current—touching on loneliness, vulnerability, and the profound power of human connection.

FLIP Fabrique’s Six° is far from your average circus. It’s a masterfully balanced blend of acrobatic spectacle and heartfelt storytelling—offering laughter, wonder, and depth in equal measure. An irresistibly entertaining circus experience for the whole family
