Mentir Lo Mínimo // Cia Alta Gama (FR)

‘Come for a new perspective on bicycle riding. Stay for the heartwarming humour and charisma of the brilliant acrobatic pair.’

Acrobatic duo Alta Gama present an intimate, immersive 360 show with three performers: man, woman and bicycle. Through live music, personal stories and encircling feats of trust, performed closer and closer to the audience, they shed layers, both literal and emotional, in search of their truest selves.

Inspired by minimalism, Mentir Lo Mínimo – in English ‘to lie the minimum’ – examines the most basic, minimalist experience and expression we have, that of the body itself. Do you like it? Is it comfortable for you? Would you change it?

“Alta Gama makes a type of circus where you feel like you are part of something that is happening, and that is beautiful and cathartic. That doesn’t happen often.” – Circusnews.it

Access: There is BSL interpretation for the 2pm show by Sherrie Eugene-Hart

The 4:45pm show will be followed by a post show chat with the artists.
