‘Full of humour, poetry and virtuosity. Don’t miss it!’ El Periodico
The guests are assembled, the band is ready, there’s food and drink galore. A nice Jewish village wedding, somewhere in Eastern Europe, but it’s all going wrong as the rings are mislaid and the arguments start.
Circus Klezmer conjures up the bustling, noisy world of Emir Kusturica’s Time of the Gypsies and Chagall’s dreamlike paintings in this rollicking, circus-theatre entertainment. It’s good-humoured, warm and atmospheric with a gallery of outrageous characters and irresistible live klezmer music. Never cried at a wedding? You will at this one!
Argentine-born director Adrian Schvartzstein previously appeared at LIMF03 as a member of Circus Ronaldo.
Presented in association with Southbank Centre
