Looking for something unique, uplifting, and awe-inspiring to see this spring? Nose Dive Assembly: Birds of a Feather by Revel Puck Circus is soaring into Brighton Fringe at The Circus Yard (Big Puck) from 2nd May to 1st June 2024. With heart, humour, and some genuinely hair-raising stunts, here’s why this gravity-defying show is not to be missed.
1. A Circus Story with Soul
More than just spectacle, Birds of a Feather tells a meaningful tale of friendship, failure, and learning to trust your wings. At the heart of the story is Pierrot, a scattered ringmistress stuck on the ground while her fellow acrobats take flight. Her journey of self-belief, nudged along by her feathery sidekick Peggy (a cheeky drone with sass and feathers), is as touching as it is thrilling
2. Jaw-Dropping Acrobatics
Expect to be dazzled. From swinging trapeze to teeterboard tricks, highwire stunts to the UK’s only Wheel of Death Duo, this show is packed with the kind of large-scale circus acts that leave audiences breathless. It’s not just what the performers do – it’s how effortlessly they make the impossible seem within reach.
3. For Kids and Grown-Ups Alike
Created for all ages, Nose Dive Assembly is a rare show that hits the sweet spot between family-friendly fun and artistic brilliance. Whether you’re a wide-eyed child or a jaded adult in need of a lift, you’ll find something to love. It’s a visual feast that never talks down to its audience, instead inviting everyone into its immersive world.
4. A Show That Celebrates Failure
Yes, you read that right. In this circus, failure isn’t the end – it’s the launchpad. With charm and cheer, Revel Puck Circus flips the traditional narrative. Here, falling is part of learning, and getting up again is half the magic. It’s a much-needed reminder, especially for younger viewers, that messing up is just another step on the way to flying.
