Circus is undoubtedly the contemporary art form that has undergone the greatest transformation over the last decade. Gone are juggling clowns and caged animals; instead Edfringe brings us a host of incredible performers who blend acrobatics, dance and physical theatre to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
One to watch this year is Recirquel Company Budapest. They return to the Fringe following the success of their steamy 2017 show Paris de Nuit. New work My Land sees the company explore humanity’s roots, promising to be both grounded and inspiring. Hungarian Artistic Director Bence Vági brings seven of Ukraine’s most talented circus artists to present “a vision of light and shadow”. Promising to push the boundaries of the human body, My Land “resonates with the most ancient myths of humanity, staging artists as they search for the sound of their own freedom in a timeless space expanded by illusions.”
