    Mix the skills and thrills of circus with gymnas-tics, dance and theatre and you have Deadly - a powerfully erotic, multi award-winning por-trayal of the Seven Deadly Sins. Set against a background of music from techno to classical, the atmosphere positively crackles with elec-tricity as New Zealander Deborah Pope and Brazilian Rodrigo Matheus create one stunning image after another, and you are left breathless with admiration for the beauty of the human form.

    From Italy, winner of the European Comedy Award and a sold-out hit at

    last year’s Festival, this virtuoso show was inspired by French novelist

    Raymond Queneau’s Omnibus-Exercises of Style, in which one short story

    is re-told in many ways. In sixty increasingly hilarious minutes, actor/

    mime Paolo Nani goes through the routine of writing a letter in a succes-

    sion of different characterisations and styles. Each self-contained episode

    is filled with artistry and visual humour.

    Like a giant marionette, Nicole Mossoux floats above the stage sus-pended by a cord which is both her means of support and a barrier to her freedom. In this new follow-on to the company’s award-winning Twin Houses, which explored the relation-ship between performer and puppets, Gradiva reveals the powers of sugges-tion that animated figures can exer-cise on human beings. A seamless blend of dance and theatre and a compelling journey to the furthest reaches of your imagination. ‘Spoken text and explicable gestures could not begin to define the nebulous

    sensibilities that this show brings into

    focus. It nudges at the very beingness of

    being. If this is the way mime is going,

    then three cheers’. INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY

    Catalan performers Xavier Marti and Christian Atanasiu have character observation down to a fine art in this series of silent, bittersweet sketches. Innocuous situations are taken to extremes, realistic yet absurd, where sentiment plunges into cynicism and the small tragedies of daily routine become too funny for words. Winners of the Innovation Award for Comedy at the Moers Festival, the duo makes its British debut with these performances. Leave higher sensibilities at home - come and enjoy a night of slapstick and sight gags, dark humour and physical comedy skills. ‘Simple everyday situations are brought wickedly, sometimes

    brutally to their humorous

    conclusion in wonderfully crafted scenes...’ RHEINISCHE POST

    The work of Birmingham-based Stan’s Cafe has reso-nated through the physical theatre world for nearly a decade. Somewhere between a peep show and a fairground ride, its latest production lasts just 180 seconds and is performed for an audience of one, seated in a small viewing booth. Using slide projection and live performance, two actors conjure up a dense emotional narrative from a whirl of beautiful cinematic images; close-ups, long shots, interiors and exte-riors, dissolves and superim-positions.

    The immediacy is thrilling, with a latent charge which sustains long after viewing. It’s Your Film is staged for you alone. It plays ten times per hour - book your own private viewing NOW.

    British composers Pete

    McPhail, Glyn Perrin and

    Simon Walters, marionettist

    Stephen Mottram creates pow-

    prises, from the most elegant

    and tender moments to darkly

    mystifying magic. Humour

    combines with the macabre to

    create a richly teasing visual

    as the puppets become more

    and more independent of the

    artist who controls them.

    Russia’s controversial, contemporary clown ensemble Derevo has already enjoyed great

    success at the Mime Festival with its apocalyptic The Red Zone (1998), and in contrasting

    style with Once (1999), a fairy tale about love.

    In this electrifying new solo show, Derevo founder member Tanya Khabarova revisits the

    elemental, twilight landscape of The Red Zone. With extraordinary charisma, silent force,

    and drawing on a mastery of butoh and raw commedia, she reveals the darker side of

    clown theatre.

    ‘Terrifying and tantalising...it’s the razor-edged contrast in tone that makes Red Zone so

    extraordinary. Poised between structure and void, it is a must-see in the truest sense.’

    Following the success of Faces of the Night at the 1999 Festival, Frank Soehnle returns with

    another offbeat masterpiece from the Figurentheater Tübingen repertoire. Set in the seedy, demi-

    mondaine Flamingo Bar, a tale of seduction and desire unfolds - a wordless intermezzo for fans,

    shoes, and every sort of puppet object and animated figure.

    ‘It should be hard to believe that sticks, rags and strings - no more than can be carried in one hand

    - could elicit such emotion, laughter and curiosity, but the German puppeteer Frank Soenhle makes

    it easy to accept. None of the puppets is large and Soenhle never tries to hide the work of his

    hands, yet the puppets are exquisitely suggestive and their movements hint fleetingly, as though

    out of the corner of your eye, at outrageous lust and longing.’

    The past decade has seen a renaissance of 'circus theatre' with the success of such companies as Archaos, Cirque de Soleil, Licedei and Slava Polunin. This year's Festival opens with an interpretation of the Seven Deadly Sins by aerialists, No Ordinary Angels; the Millenium Dome has put circus at the middle of its attractions and increasing numbers of young performers are developing circus skills and bringing them into theatre performance.Led by a panel of leading practitioners, this discussion explores the notion of 'circus theatre' and highlights its pleasures and pitfalls.
