The show is inspired by comic books and performed on a bespoke circus rig - a 13.5 m double circle rising from the ground. Within this 'wheel' eight acrobats and a live musician perform.    

The show will be presented in Pearson Park or West Park on Saturday 12th of August and Sunday 13th of August at 9pm or 9:30pm and runs for an hour. It is still to be decided if the show will be ticketed. The capacity of the show is 4500 made up of 500 deckchairs provided by the company and 4000 standing. Total capacity over the two nights is 9000.

-----

Featuring members of the legendary flying company Les Arts Sauts, Epicycle  is a spectacular display of aerial and acrobatic arts that plays on and around an astounding metal structure – a giant ring 13m in diameter.

Within this towering circle exists a miniature universe inhabited by the ‘circle people’, or ‘cyclonauts’. Epicycle  conjures the rhythm of their lives in a unique illustrative style, drawing inspiration from European comics and mixing in references to authors such as Bilal, Schuiten, Freud, Cobeyran, Cecil and Lebeault.

The Epicycle  structure is designed by Side Up Concept, the outside eye for the show is choreographer and aerialist John-Paul Zaccarini. CirkVOST are based in Champclauson, France.

Press Quote:

'They play and fly and make you think that you could play and fly, too. Let go, cut free, soar… but the danger is real, not acted, as they artfully remind us that living is a life-threatening activity but you can survive it.'
