‘Hilarious chaos in a sublime spectacle. An absolute must!’ Telegraaf
‘Tender, intelligent and with some astonishing juggling acts... a perfect show, a 10.’ El País

The rocky relationship between a chef and his assistant provokes a power struggle amongst the pots and pans - the perfect context for this hilarious display of clowning and pizza flipping skills. Inspired by Fellini movies, commedia plots and the restaurant juggers of old vaudeville, this is the ultimate cookery show. As the chandelier is lit and the crockery and comestibles arrive, an accordion makes magic and spoons play a tarantella on bottles of wine. Welcome to La Cucina dell'Arte, an evening of romantic dining and chaos, laughter and charm.
For six generations the Ronaldo family toured Flanders with beautiful gypsy caravans and atmospheric variety/circus shows. Since making its first ever overseas' appearance at the 1998 London International Mime Festival, Circus Ronaldo has gone on to win hearts around the world.
UK Premiere.

Suitable for age 10+

Presented in association with barbicanbite06
