Cirque Trottola is one of the more magical events at this year’s Westport Arts Festival; an unusual performance, combining concepts of theatre and trapeze, comedy and art. The show juggles emotion and physical wonder, through mime and music, bundles and burdens. The intimacy of the tent enhances the daring of the acrobatics, tenderly evoking the strength and fragility of life. Vibrant characters ensure this French experience will appeal to a wide audience (aged eight and over ).
Cirque Trottola has performed to sell-out shows and rave reviews in France and other European locations including Prague’s International Circus Festival, Letni Letna. The circus tent site is beside the Holy Trinity Church, Newport Road, Westport, at the old CBS site. Large groups, including schools, are advised to contact the festival directly by email at [email protected] or telephone 087 412 0176 (or 085 7674709 ) to confirm group concessions. The circus is expected to run October 1, 2, 6, and 7 at 7pm. Admission to the event costs between €8 and €12. For more information check out www.westportartsfestival.com
