Identite – Flipside Circus

Overview

If you ever wanted to run away and join the circus and/or had an identity crisis when you were younger, you were everyone. If you actually had any conviction, and decided to express yourself through performance, you were Flipside Circus.

And on the 15th year of this innovative circus's well-accomplished life, it too faces the all-too-common, pubescent identity crisis that comes hand-in-hand with this turbulent age. Their newest show, Identité, presents a contemporary circus piece that explores identity, innocence and youth through tumbles, tricks and trapeze. In a show suitable for all ages, this group of 9- to 18-year-olds perform and present an awe-inspiring masterpiece on self-discovery and what it is to grow up.

This cast of only 14 presents an unmissable experience, tying the challenges of ageing with those of intricate performance and showpiece. Identité is more than just a circus; it's a contemporary piece of art, riddled with emotion.
