Chivaree Circus and Upstage Creative present CRASH Winterville, Clapham Common, London 28th, 29th November and 12th, 13th, 19th 20th, 22nd December 2018
“I woke to find myself in a dark wood, Where the right road was wholly lost and gone.” – Dante
CRASH is a tale of love, danger and mystery, featuring heart-stopping acrobatics, astounding aerial dance and eerie balletic pieces to a lyrical electronic soundtrack. Inspired by the 19th century French ballet La Sylphide, CRASH is a retelling of this European folktale through impressionist, mixed media pop-conceptual circus.
This new show in the round comes from the award-winning team that brought Becoming Shades to VAULTS earlier this year. Audiences will be taken on a journey through a compelling emotional landscape of circus, dance and beautiful atmospheric soundscapes.

Setting the pace in the London circus scene this is a show that demonstrates Chivaree will not rest on their laurels and will continue to push boundaries in circus (London Theatre 1).
CRASH is a shadow blinking at twilight, the hint of a love that was never meant to be, where shadows breathe and dance amongst the trees. When a mysterious woodland creature appears to a man on the morning of his wedding day, he can’t resist following her. Their love is immortal for true love conquers all. Or does it? When the forest comes alive, who is to say what is real and what is not? Who can you really trust in the moonlight? Who is the hunter and who is the prey?
This promises to be a spectacular combination of high impact circus, dramatic aesthetics and powerful visual narratives. Their last production was a sell-out and Frost Magazine is willing to bet this will be too.
CRASH: Performance Dates 28th, 29th November and 12th, 13th, 19th 20th, 22nd December 2018 Variable times
