About this event
Prepare for high-energy performances that include daring tightwire, hair hanging, hoop tricks, rope acts and the unique wonder of a flying piano.
Counterweight offers a bold, contemporary take on the traditional circus, immersing audiences in a vibrant anarchic world, with breath-taking, high-level acts that hold a mirror up to the world. Celebrating the absurd and the alternative, the company’s signature style of performance-based rigging and human counterweighting is intertwined with original live music and moments of superb comedy.
Pirates of the Carabina bring joyous chaos wherever they go, promising an unforgettable experience that will leave people of all ages laughing & gasping, with a new-found love of the Circus.
