Last Chance to See Le Cirque Invisible + results of our kids design competition!

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Alison Fraser

It’s the final few performances of our brilliant summer show, Le Cirque Invisible this weekend. For the past three weeks, the Queen Elizabeth Hall has been the home of legendary French performers Jean-Baptiste Thiérrée and Victoria Chaplin along with their menagerie of talented geese and bunnies. If you haven’t managed to catch Le Cirque Invisible yet, check out our trailer and book tickets here.
 

We’re also very excited to announce the winners of our ‘Design your own machine’ competition. In Le Cirque Invisible, Victoria and Jean-Baptiste use fantastic machines and contraptions made from unusual things. Have a look at the winning entries from our young inventors. And maybe even watch out for these machines in highstreet stores near you very soon!

Reviews and audience feedback for our summer show Le Cirque Invisible

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Alison Fraser

There’s only one week to go of our beautiful summer show, Le Cirque Invisible. Here’s the Evening Standard’s review.
 

A circus of laughter lifts the mood
Crazy times in the captital demand a powerful tonic, so it is fortuitous that the fantastically whimsical Cirque Invisible has returned to Queen Elizabeth Hall. Last night, putting aside fears of a late return to lawless south London, we took the children to see the inspired silliness and surreal acrobatics of this manic two-person act.

Jean-Baptiste Thiérrée and Victoria Chaplin (daughter of Charlie) would be diverting at any time. But the howls of laughter seemed a blessed release from the past days’ tension. It’s so reassuring to have your mood improved by a clown with operatic kneecaps, a magic rabbit called Jean-Louis and a signing duck.
