Pirates of the Carabina: Pirate Taxi
A small scale outdoor circus show with large tales to tell!
Sometimes serious, but more often funny, this is a family friendly outdoor show suitable for adventurers of all ages. Pirate Taxi features Pirates of the Carabina’s trademark mechanically ingenious sets, extraordinary aerial, circus and live music performed in, on and above an old-school London taxi. Drawing inspiration from the true life journeys (travelling, migration and displacement) of the company from Circus to Somerset, the stories of people we meet along the way and the annual migration of birds, the taxi is a travelling trove of stories, notions and ruminations. And there is always room for one more…
