boti’s wednesday pick of the day: circus

We know what it’s like in May, there’s just so much good stuff to choose from that as you flick through the brochures or scroll down your screen, you’re quickly struck with overwhelm. To the point where you never get round to booking anything at all and it’s easier to just go for a pint at the local. Anything to avoid working out which one of the ka-trillion (*this figure may not be 100% accurate) events on offer – that didn’t already sell out weeks ago – you should go and see today.

But no! There’s another way! Every day this month we’ll be giving you one show we reckon you should get tickets for, so you can eliminate the brain ache and just get out and enjoy some great performances. We’ll be mixing it up, so our choices will include everything from music to circus, so over the course of the week you can sample a veritable smörgåsbord of culture. You’re welcome.

Here’s what we’ve got for you today:

I Am Somebody – Sirqus Alfon
Not your average circus; in fact, ‘average’ is probably the last word you’d use to describe this Swedish troupe. More like creative, smart and hilarious. Circus is a stretch, too, as Sirqus Alfon’s original, tech-savvy performance is impossible to pigeon-hole, combining clever audience interaction with physical theatre and immersive light and sound concepts. We don’t want to give too much away, but you can get a taster of what to expect in their show trailer here.
