about the show
A magic lantern performance with live music for children aged 2 and over
Giant Light Circus is a celebration of light and colour. Very special circus animals show off their tricks, and not in a sandy ring, but on a theatre-wide projection screen. A wizard announces each of the magic tricks: “Roll up, roll up! See a turtle change colour like a gobstopper! See the camel’s humps grow higher and higher! See clownfish come swimming out of a tuba!”
The magic lanterns are visible to the public. The performers move the tiny circus figures inside them. Behind the screen too, a performer sways a magic lantern to and fro like a flashlight. Two musicians provide a cheerful accompaniment on the tuba, trombone, percussion and electric guitar.
The children sit on colourful cushions close up both to the magic lanterns and the musicians. A dog jumps on an elephant, pigs play on an old seesaw. Welcome to Giant Light Circus, a warm and intimate circus.
Duration: 40 minutes.
