Join founders Hilary Westlake and David Gale as they look back on the adult-oriented acts of Circus Lumière such as dysfunctional ventriloquism, clinically suspect and clearly fraudulent telepathy...

Circus Lumiere toured in a five king pole 260 seater custom-made big top and presented an animal-free, modestly acrobatic show that foregrounded such adult-oriented acts as dysfunctional ventriloquism, clinically suspect and clearly fraudulent telepathy, butchery masquerading as conjuring, conjuring featuring murder, off-colour joke fusillades, the ingestion of household cleaning materials, the distressing consumption by an entertainer of his own brain, exquisite costumes, intermittent audience invasion when ticket holders were invited to touch the bodies of the clowns, all delivered at a frenzied pace with intervals of limpid beauty.

Hilary and David will talk about their work.
