What emerges when two contemporary circus artists discover a stack of empty beer kegs, a discarded plank of wood, and forgotten bottles outside their favourite pub? The answer is “Balance” – a captivating show that transforms these ordinary objects into extraordinary tools for acrobatic expression, subtly inviting reflection on our societal relationship with alcohol.

Created by Brainfools, a UK-based company known for their innovative and engaging performances, “Balance” welcomes you to witness the inventive skill of two performers who turn a chance discovery into a mesmerizing spectacle. This is contemporary circus, focusing on astonishing human feats, compelling artistry, and storytelling through movement and unique object manipulation, rather than traditional animal acts. Jared and Toffy, with their combined mastery in partner acrobatics, juggling, and precise object manipulation, will impress you with their creativity and athleticism.

Witness a visual feast as they gracefully fly through the air in daring partner acrobatics, expertly toss beer kegs with effortless precision, and defy gravity with unbelievable balancing feats. Observe Toffy navigate the stage with careful steps along a path of precarious bottles, while Jared commands attention juggling clubs and kegs with impossible skill. Every movement is a testament to skill and precision, creating a dynamic visual narrative.

“Balance” is a spectacle of colour, fluid movement, and constant surprise, showcasing the power of imagination and the endless possibilities found in playful interaction.
