Description

Leading wheel acrobats, Acrojou, present their first full length show, Wake.

Wake is a dark, humorous and uplifting study of one man’s DIY relationship with his own existence: love, laughter, good manners, snow, grief, death, home operations, wheels and waltzing. A poetic joy ride through a sculptural and filmic landscape, it’s difficult to explain and best seen in the flesh.
In an hour of visceral and fast moving storytelling, Wake features the stunning physicality of German and Cyr wheels, strikingly choreographed acrobatics, and the absorbing visuals for which Acrojou are becoming renowned.

Join this celebration of life lived well. Come and enjoy our Wake.
Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and Kent County Council.

Co-produced with Jacksons Lane and supported by The Gulbenkian (Canterbury), Farnham Maltings, The Hazlitt Arts Centre and Circomedia.  Acrojou are Mentored by Company FZ.
