Balagan

Band,
Jazz, Latin, World and Folk

This stunning, international co-production, masterminded by director Sebastiano Toma, combines dance, circus, vaudeville, visual projections, superb live music and brilliantly imaginative staging in a truly magical whole. It is as if we have gone back in time, travelled to the heart of Europe, and the circus has rolled into town... Balagan's unique quality is immediately apparent... Despite the on-stage talent, the set itself must take some of the glory for Balagan's success... a stunning image that remains with us long after this merry band of artistes has bid farewell. Devilishly beguiling music, an occasional flurry of splendidly silly, curiously wistful clowning, and some thoroughly eye-catching acrobatic tumbling - they all meld into Balagan, a show that's not entirely circus, not just a gig by a great band, but a magical feel-good experience.
