booking details

A hit from last year's Festival, Compagnie 111 returns with its sensational, sonic juggling show. On a cunningly amplified set created from a series of variously sized wooden boxes, white juggling balls become instruments of dazzling sound and rhythm. Add a dash of aerial skills, flamenco, accordion and acrobatics and you have IJK, a seamless flow of artistry and magic. Performers Aurelien Bory, Olivier Alenda and Anne de Buck trained at France's famous Lido Circus School and worked with Mladen Materic's Tattoo Theatre before setting up their own company in 1999.
