Fireside
Gather around the fire and let us remind you of what it was to be afraid of the dark.
Don’t build the fire too high, sing too loud or laugh too heartily because he’s out there and he’s hungry.
The award winning circus company Nikki & JD in collaboration with Lost Dog create an outdoor show that combines circus, dance, theatre and live music to reenact the original horror story. The one about the monster, and the monster’s mother, and the dragon and the hero and the severed limbs.
Dark, comic and physically dangerous this is a modern re-telling of that ancient epic, Beowulf.
