Daring, daft, and sexy as hell: this is circus, but not as you know it.
Overview
Daring, daft, and sexy as hell: this is circus, but not as you know it.
Packed with astonishing acrobatics and perfectly-groomed beards, BARBU is 'the most fun you'll have in a tent this year' (The Scotsman).
Performed by one of the world's greatest circus companies – Canada's Cirque Alfonse – it takes edge-of-your-seat, off-the-wall entertainment to a whole other level.
Set to a heart-thumping musical score, circus and mayhem collide in an adventure filled with almighty skills and muscular torsos.
Having delighted crowds with their madcap lumberjack circus Timber! in 2013, Cirque Alfonse bring BARBU to London Wonderground following its critically acclaimed premiere at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe.
