Lavrak Circus Extravaganza at Centrespace Gallery in Bristol from Friday 2nd to Wednesday 7th March 2018
Posted on: 21 Feb 2018Roll up, roll up! The circus is coming to Bristol as part of Centrespace Gallery's Lavrak Circus Extravaganza which runs from Friday 2nd to Wednesday 7th March 2018.
The six-day circus-fest will feature a giddying panoply of big top-related shenanigans that will cover the gamut of performing arts, spoken word and some saucy burlesque thrown in for good measure.
Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd March will present The Imaginarium: A Circus Cabaret of The Untold, an intriguing delve into the world of the untapped, unfathomable reaches of the marvelous imagination that will take you mysterious, fantastical places of which you've only dreamed and which will be brimming with deliciously unexpected surprises.
Youngsters will have a great time on Sunday 4th March with Twinkle: A Circus Show for Little Ones, where kids are invited to settle down, bring a picnic and enjoy a few hours of story telling. They can even wear their finest PJ's for the after-show pyjama party.
From 7pm, also on the Sunday, Roisin Crowley Linton will present a sublime, love-themed amalgam of comedy, spoken word and story telling called Be More, Do Better But Don't Change.
On Monday 5th March , MishMash: Scratch Night will see a deliriously fresh and fun combo of art-related hi-jinks that will include poetry, comedy, dance, circus, music and theatre; a gig that will give everyone the chance to support the city's thriving, multi-talented, buzzing performance arts scene.
Closing the extravaganza on Wednesday 7th Marchfrom 7pm will be Slap and Tickle: Burlesque Cabaret, which, amongst other fun, frisky enticements promises to be a seductive, mid-week blend of lust, laughs, raunchiness and giggles. And who, I suggest, can argue with that?!
