Cast and Creative

The Lucius Team

The astonishing Lucius Team presents a petrol-fuelled hair-raiser: The motorcycle Globe of Death - live on stage for the first time in the UK. Hold your breath and raise the roof as up to 4 bikers ride upside down in the globe at speeds of up to 60mph. The louder you cheer, the faster they go!

Timbuktu Tumblers

Taking acrobatic art from the streets of Africa to a whole new level, The Timbuktu Tumblers present an incredible display of pyramids, jumping through hoops and flaming limbo poles, set to blow you away with their energy and skill.

Bolas Argentinas

Most famously used by the gauchos (Argentinian cowboys), Gabriel and Germaine make the tradition throwing weapons “bolas” their own in a dangerous display of daring and talent. Do not try this at home!

Odka

With the ability to shoot an arrow with perfect aim with her feet whilst standing on her hands, this “Lady from the Bottle”, straight from Mongolia, is the most flexible archer you will ever encounter!

Tropicana Troupe

This outstanding troupe all the way from Cuba catapult themselves high into the air as they perform a range of incredible tricks from flick flacks to somersaults!

Jackie

“The higher the better” is the motto of strap acrobat Jackie from the United Kingdom, who performs hair-raising tricks mid-air to the astonishment of audiences.

Germaine Delbosq

Germaine from France is one of the most skilled foot jugglers of our time, able to throw and catch balls, rings, cubes and even flaming objects with her feet!

Toni

Nothing will prepare you for the speed with which the Czech knife thrower Toni hurls knifes and axes towards the board, without so much as a graze to the skin of his brave assistant....we hope!

Zula

Zula is a Mongolian master of the Tower of Chairs; one of the oldest thrill acts in the world. Despite its age, the stunt has lost nothing of its thrilling quality.

Laci

High above the stage, Laci demonstrates his amazing skill, strength and artistry in this rarely-performed aerial pole act.

Jose and Gaby

Extraordinary strength, agility and balance from Colombia’s internationally acclaimed
hand-to-hand duo.

Berserk Dancers and Aerial Ballet

The high-kicking, high-energy Hungarian Cirque Berserk dance ensemble and aerial ballet will delight you throughout the show.

Giant Robot

Our giant, fire breathing robot is a favourite with audiences, that needs to be seen to be believed!
