Circus Ronaldo (Belgium) AMORTALE London Premiere
A night at the circus like no other! Belgium’s much-loved Circus Ronaldo harks back to the days of travelling fairground theatre, a warmhearted Felliniesque world of uncomplicated popular entertainment. Amortale is Adam and Eve’s love story, or would be if other people didn’t get in the way. Performed on the Ronaldo’s antique and distinctly wobbly stage, it mixes tragedy and clowning, opera, circus, marionettes, and a touch of arson. Its old world charm, skill and humour are a delight. Circus Ronaldo has been a regular visitor to the Mime Festival since giving its first ever performances outside Flanders at LIMF 1998. Since then it has toured its irresistible, hand-crafted brand of commedia-circus far and wide.
