A humorous solo in an acrobatic kitchen, Teacrobat invites the audience to a generous portion of entertainment and tasty gingerbread. This circus ring is equipped with a cupboard and pantry and there’s no shortage of tables or chairs. Meanwhile, the artist keeps fit, stretching and balancing things and playfully surmounting heights with ease. Our generous host offers a rich palette of circus art, served up whilst preparing a tasty treat. The sole protagonist of this performance not only flies around teacups with a wooden spoon but also turns out to be an excellent equilibrist, a phenomenal stand-up comedian and an endearing clown.
This acrobatic family cooking show in a custom circus tent is a celebration of traditional and new circus and intended for all generations.
