See BEHEMOTH, an offering from Compagnie Moon Café. Dark, oniric, and visually stunning, this performance promises an hour shared between introspective reflection, belly laughs, and awe-inspiring circus. BEHEMOTH plunges the audience into a landscape of the absurd, blending circus with physical theatre and personal storytelling. A tightrope walker in a tutu battles her internal demons through occult rituals and pop music. Meanwhile a neurotic juggling prima donna seeks answers from anyone willing to listen.
Two shows in one. Two stories. Two women each asking themselves one question:
“What the hell is my problem?”
The show will connect with adults and young people but has particular resonance for women, LGBTQIA+ folks and those living with invisible disabilities as it was created by two artists sitting at the intersection of those lived experiences.
Get a sneak peak at the Opening party of the Circus Yard on the 1st of May!
