Just kicked off my festival last night with a brilliant wee circus show called Transit, by Flip Fabrique- I saw their show Attrape Moi (they’re french canadians) last year and loved it, Transit is more of the same but a wee bit smarter and a bit more focused
You know how with a lot of these circus shows you can tell that the cast were all abducted at 5 years old and sent to circus slave camp, and they can do the impossible with robot precision but they’ve all got dead eyes? Flip Fabrique aren’t as good as those guys, but they love it and it shows. It’s got some knockout moments, it had a few screwups, a few bits that didn’t really work but all in all I left the place bouncing. If you’re fed up of circus, go and see it, if you love circus go and see it, even if you don’t care about circus maybe go and see it, it’s ace.
