Cirque Bijou more detailspublicity
Combining strong character with great costume design, Cirque Bijou have created a vast and varied range of stilt characters. They include:
The Footballers
The ever enthusiastic footballer Willy Wreckham and irritatingly accurate referee Bernard Bookem will recreate magical moments from the beautiful game. Stylishly sporting stilt walkabout. Don't miss, on transfer from Lazio, the sizzlingly sultry Massimo Scorchio!!
Mumsie
She’ll make sure your hair is combed and that you’ve washed behind your ears but remember, if she won’t let you go out ‘looking like that’, its only ‘cause she cares!
Helter Skelter
These curious characters bring a splash of colour to the dreariest of backdrops. With stunningly choreographed movement. Given notice we can create costumes to match the colour of your event. Up to 4 performers available.
You can also add their keeper Patricia Peacock, an interactive ground character that adds an extra comic dimension.
Pyrotechnic Shows
Scorch
A collaboration between Cirque Bijou and the international pyrotechnic company, Pains Fireworks. Scorch is a site specific large scale human pyro theatre show that has been performed in front of audiences of up to 75,000 people in venues across the world. Shows have included collaborations with the Dream Engine’s Heliosphere over the desert of Saudi Arabia and the water of Bristol City’s Harbourside. The show incorporates human pyrotechnics, aerial acts, and fire performance to a backdrop of digitally controlled pyrotechnics.
Melt
Melt is a spectacular indoor pyrotechnic show from Cirque Bijou. The show combines acrobatics, stunts, martial arts and dance with state of the art electronic props, fire manipulation, angle-grinders and pyrotechnics.
Fuse
An artistic extension of the Melt show, this is a spectacular 20 minute show. With brand new costumes, an aerial corde lisse solo, new choreography and even more exciting fire and pyrotechnic props. This show has already been a hit at Glastonbury and Henley Festivals.
