NOIR is aerial physical theatre extraordinaire. A dramatic thriller, set in the 1940s taking ‘film noir’ as its motif, NOIR fuses the disciplines physical theatre and circus. Eleven aerialists take to the stage using cargo nets, trapeze, rope, silks and aerial hoop to tell the twisted tale of a detective desperately searching for the woman he loves in a vicious underworld fraught with danger.
After a sell-out run at the Albany, London 2007, NOIR went on to wow packed audiences at Glastonbury 2008. This version has been specially designed and adapted for the Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Fringe.
