Showcasing the very best in circus, cabaret and innovative performance, the Postcards Festival London event takes over Jacksons Lane in Highgate with new commissions, short works and exciting collaborations.
£10 performances
Hosted by multi-arts venue Jacksons Lane, at the second annual Postcards Festival London circus and cabaret fans can catch triple bills, special guests, one off shows and site specific performances, and all from only a tenner a night. Now that's something to write home about...
Highlight performances
Included in the programme of alternative theatre and devishly delightful acts at this year's festival is a special performance by Simone Riccio of NoFit State Circus fame, which combines daring acrobatics, juggling and dance. Other highlight performances at the Postcards Festival London event include an alternative talent show hosted by alt-cabaret star Scottee, as well as music from Marcella Puppini's rock 'n' roll art-punk band, The Forget Me Nots.
Circus and cabaret
Also appearing on the Postcards Festival London lineup is Leela Bunce's Waiting for Stanley, which combines innovative puppetry and clowning in a touching meditation on the themes of war, loss and enduring love. Fans can also catch alternative burlesque and a straitjacket striptease at Crimson Skye's Death Row Diva show, which details the star's love affair with Ed the Severed Head.
Boogaloo Stu
Meanwhile, other shows on the programme include Boogaloo Stu's interactive Pop Magic, in which the audience is given the chance to collectively write, record and produce a unique pop single, complete with video. There's also dance and acrobatics performed at break-neck speed by Boom! Circus Theatre, as well as risque the risque show World of Wrong by The Two Wrongies, which features land-based synchronised swimming and obscure physical parodies.
The Postcards Festival London events take place at Jacksons Lane, Highgate from Thursday 7th June - Saturday 30th June 2012.
Tickets cost £10.00 per show (including double and triple bills), while entry to the late night cabaret performances cost £15.00. For more information and to buy tickets, call the box office on 020 8341 4421.
