Revolutions Per Minute // Gorilla Circus (UK)

A mesmeric show combining exhilarating acrobatics, adrenaline-pumping street dance and breath-taking roller skating, set on a giant moving treadmill. RPM explores the tragic, comic and absurd aspects of modern society, unravelling untold links between current problems and the UK’s troubled history – it asks the question: has this country ever confronted its colonial past?

Gorilla Circus is a contemporary circus company specialising in imaginative, sophisticated high-octane works with strong narratives surrounding global issues.
