Lumberjack circus @ the South Bank

[David Humphries]

Might be of interest to some.........

 

"The UK premiere of a joyous, log-balancing, wood-chucking, axe-juggling spectacular from a family of lumberjack circus-performers

 

Blending circus with theatre, dance, live traditional music and the folklore of their native Quebec, Cirque Alfonse take the audience on a wild ride of gravity-defying acrobatics and thrilling tricks with metal saws, axes and logs from the family farm"

Wow!:-)

Love that!

I like the genre of entertainment that fuses skill, dexterity, dare devilism and humour. STOMP is another group of players that are good.

That looks like a fun performance!

Pretty neat. Not a patch on the Cirque Arbtalk at the shows this year, balancing double bits on top of a ratchet, slicing neat lines in the turf, and hanging the axe in varying positions in the safety nets.

It's still on until the 31st if anyone fancies it, I recommend it highly
