Welcome to the fantastic and chaotic world of a small independent circus of the 1920s!

Louis Cyr, now director of a small circus, has lost all his strength and no longer knows what to do to save the show. His tricks are misarable, his suit wretched and his animals are becoming every day more rebellious and dangerous. Furthermore, instead of cooperating properly, his lovely assistant Miss Lilly tends to be creating extra trouble… unless?

*CIRCUS* is a show full of acrobatics, magic, beads and feathers, but also problems, tensions and reconciliations...
An entertaining story about the circus, but, most of all, an ironic mirror on human relationships, may they be of friendship, work or love. 
Circus is a black and white acrobatic film, a vintage and glamorous high-flying show in a surreal world full of fleas, flakes, acrobatics and surprises 

The show *CIRCUS* is designed to be performed both in- and outdoors.

TECHNICAL RIDER FOR STREET PERFORMANCE
The structure used for the performance is a carbon fibre tripod of 8m height, simple and light, it is extremely easily and quickly built.
 Independent and elegant, it doesn’t require any fixing to flat ground (max inclination 3%).

For outdoor performances: in case of inclination or wind, the structure needs to be fixed to the ground using for example watertanks (2x 500kg), trees, benches or street lights.
We are equipped with a sound system for about 500 people.
For bigger audience, extra soundsystem is required

  • The scenery is mainly composed by a chess floor, 2 “changing rooms”, a bed, a table, 2 chairs, small flags, elephants and other animals.
  •  The ground must be flat and without inclination (max 3%) and protected from the wind.
  • The structure can be easily fixed to the ground with water tanks or to benches or street lights.
  • Time for total set up: about 2h

WE NEED:

  • 1) Flat ground space protected from the wind: 10mx10m; height 8,20m.
  • 2) Electricity supply (10KW), plug 32 amper for night shows, a 220V plug day time
  • 3) 2-3 security guards/volunteers of the festival during the show
  • 4) Lights for night performances
  • 5) No sound disturbance during the performance
  • 6) Ideally seats or benches for the public For security reasons, no show is performed under the hot sun.
  • 7) A little catering with fresh water, juice, (dry) fruits or other snacks would be great!
  • The organizer has to ensure the application of Sabam (author's rights or any performance rights organisation (PRO) of your country)
  • The organizer is responsible for the safety
  • If the acts are performed abroad, if it is too late to go home or if they have to play several days the organization needs to provide hotel accommodations (***hotels for 3 people) for the team, meals and beverages.
