A circus for the 21st century - is coming to Bolton in May and we have four family passes to give away.
Cirque Surreal - 'State Circus of the Imagination' "Britain's biggest and best contemporary circus" - a dynamic fusion of circus, dance, drama and humour - highlights the outstanding talents of 25 world-class artistes in a spectacular show for all the family in the Theatre Big Top at the REEBOK STADIUM from May 9 - 18.
Cirque Surreal was created in 1995 by the world's leading circus creative partnership Phillip and Carol Gandey, working to break down outdated traditions of the Circus, to produce a new style of physical performance arts entertainment.
If circus was to thrive - never mind survive - then it had to move out of the sawdust ring with its poor technical facilities and rise to the challenge of creating a new and exciting family entertainment.
Engaging with kinetic structures, world-class dynamic artistes and innovative sensory concepts produced an innovative, sparkling, exhilarating performance.
Cirque Surreal rapidly became internationally renowned and has toured the Far and Middle East.
This high energy and inspiring performance headlined at the Dublin International Festival the world's largest performing arts festival - Edinburgh International Fringe - and the prestigious Dubai Shopping Festival.
