Witness a beautiful disaster in mid-air. Extreme circus skill, inventive humor and exhausting talent. Slap stick acrobatics, hazardous aerial and flying hula hoop all performed around a 7 m high free standing trapezerig. Tina Machina and Kenneth Fall invite you on a cultural car crash of circus street theatre. Circus theatre…. from the wrong side of feel good.

The circus celebrates the endless possibility of humanity through the metaphor of physical skills and acts of great human strength, feats and endurance. We  share and play with that idea of endless possibility. We use aerial, acrobatic, slapstick  and clown, to disturb, inspire and mostly remind people to have fun.
