are events in themselves and take months or years to prepare. They are a rendezvous between ourselves and between us and the audience.

The technical and logistical sides are quite challenging but after 15 years of performing the show around the world, we now have some good systems in place and a very solid team.

We are excited to bring the show back to the UK. We have had special encounters with British audiences in the past and Brexit brought with it the fear that we would not return to the UK for a while.

We are delighted - and particularly delighted to come to Milton Keynes, a project that has been in the making since 2019.

What has the audience reaction been to Place des Anges in other venues around the world where you’ve performed it?

“Mortgage the house. Sell your possessions. Do anything that makes it possible to see Place Des Anges”. This quote from the Australian Advertiser in March 2018 pretty much sums it upeven if we may say so ourselves.

See Place des Anges at Secklow Gate car park near The Point. Performances take place on July 28 and 29, 9.45pm. Tickets are £6 and must be booked in advance. Book at ifmiltonkeynes.org or call The Stables box office on 01908
