£10/£9 (£9/£8) £5 previewsGravity-defying aerial circus exploring imminent doom and destruction. Entropic visions, ghostly entities, imploding stars and radioactive dust - is this prophecy or fantasy?
Crazed astronauts battle it out for supremacy of the Earth; a survivor throws off his hazmat and contorts to radiation sickness; forgotten androids dance an endless duet... meanwhile a lone woman is pursued into the air by a shadowy figure that bears an eerie resemblance to Death himself. But all is not lost, as out of the debris a brave new world is forming.
Featuring amazing routines on trapeze, hoop, silks, rope and dance trapeze, Tales of the Apocalypse offers its audience a jaw-dropping adventure through various apocalyptic scenarios. Twisted, terrifying, stunningly beautiful and downright hilarious, this is circus cabaret as never seen before.
Tales of the Apocalypse was premiered over two weeks in the Shunt Lounge, London 2009, where it received critical acclaim and was Time Out’s Critic’s choice.
