What is it?

Il Pixo Rosso presents The Great Spavaldos at Jacksons Lane in north London from 18th to 22nd November 2014.

From New York to Bombay, from Paris to Abyssinia, the Spavaldo brothers performed their flying trapeze daredevil stunts without a safety net for over a quarter of century before their mysterious disappearance.  Now they are back to tell their story and dare audience members to join them inside the big top, high up on the flying platform.

The Great Spavaldos is a 20 minute immersive theatre piece for one person at a time.  Participants are fitted with video goggles and headphones. Then, whilst following instruction to a tightly choreographed series of movements, the participants are cast to become the central characters in a multi-sensory cinematic experience, taking the role of a circus performer.

The Great Spavaldos is a unique opportunity to be part of the circus.  Just don’t look down!
