To celebrate the launch of the Circus City 2023 programme, acclaimed Bristol-founded company Ockham’s Razor will be performing their new free outdoor show PUBLIC at The Podium crossroads at the centre of the Broadmead shopping area on Saturday 29 July 2023 at 12 midday and 2pm.
PUBLIC will feature a graduate company of young acrobats, dancers, climbers and parkour artists, defying the marginalised position of young people in our public spaces and bringing the spirit of Bristol as a city of circus to the surface – as they make the city’s architecture their playground.
At the end of PUBLIC, young people and audience members are encouraged to join in with the show. The simple choreography will be shared over TikTok and Instagram in advance.
The performances will be audio described. For access enquiries please contact nicole@bristolcircuscity.com
