TRANSE EXPRESS: MAUDITS SONNANTS Friday 25 & Saturday 26 - performance time: 8.30pm Centenary Square Presented by Birmingham Hippodrome, Maudits Sonnants is an exhilarating, adrenaline-inducing, awe-inspiring production featuring actors, trapeze artists, acrobats, bell ringers, dancers, percussionists, singers, string quartets, welders, technicians and forgers with bewitching performances played against the night sky. The French company have constructed a lotus like metallic structure of 17 meters diameter manipulated by a telescopic crane. It is lifted high into the air carrying with it musicians and trapeze artists. As it slowly spins the sound of bells will ring out across the city.
