Cirque Éloize present iD Reloaded
Hull City Hall, Saturday 11 October.
Tickets: £32
Box Office: www.hulltheatres.co.uk or phone 01482 300 306
It’s circus but not as you know it. Experience a dance-circus phenomenon like no other as West Side Story meets urban dance meets heart-in-mouth circus. iD Reloaded is an intoxicating blend of circus skills, b-boying/b-girling, breakdance and hip hop set against a kaleidoscope of eye-popping cityscape projections, with a pulsating soundtrack.
Cirque Éloize co-founder and director Jeannot Painchaud said: “iD Reloaded is a visual fest, still fun and energetic, more cartoon-like and colourful. It’s in complete resonance with the challenges that our teenagers are facing where screen shots and “likes” change constantly your image and creates new identities. What’s real and what’s not? Who am I? In this extraordinary period of time, it’s more important than ever to celebrate our difference and our sense of community.”
Prepare to feel the danger as you hold your breath for 75 minutes.
