‘A contemporary acrobatic company with energy enough to power the national grid’.
British Theatre Guide
Until Now is a beautifully improbable acrobatic adventure, with a little magic and a few surprises. Lyrical and timeless, fashioned from joyful flips and harmonious balances it tells a story of journeys and goodbyes and astonishing feats of friendship.
Graduates of The Circus Space in London, Silvia, Lina and Emma founded Mimbre in 1999. Their successful fusion of contemporary physical theatre, dance and world class acrobatic performance has seen them tour to theatres, festivals and open stages across four continents, creating unforgettable images and winning popular acclaim.
The director is Spanish clown Leandre Ribera (last seen at LIMF performing with his long-time stage partner Claire Ducreux) whose own poetic universe is a perfect match for Mimbre’s effortless skills.
