What is it?

Once one has encountered the bizarre and magical world of The Insect Circus, how could one come away and forget Dungo (son of Dungo) the balancing Scarab Beetle, Tallulah the Worm Charmer, Constance Courage and her Vicious Vespa Wasps, and the Acrobatic Ants?

With its spectacular combination of magical worlds, physical theatre, circus skills and extraordinary costumes The Insect Circus is a variety show without parallel. Ten performers, including aerialists, a contortionist, a knife thrower and a magician are featured in a show of unique acts linked by a ringmaster.
