The Vault at The Garden of Unearthly Delights

Until March 20

Zeus has instructed his family to spend time among the common man and they take to it like fish to water.

They do tricks with ropes, chairs, ladders, big acrobatics, great diabolos and with a stuffy, stagy godlike mien.

But this is really the prelude for four men to create a storm that uses circus to show what would really happen if Apollo, Dionysus, Cupid and Hercules, all rather more playful than recorded in the myths, came to town.

It is a wild party not to be missed.

The highlights come when the four gods play classical statues, and find they have only three fig leaves. The joke is extended until it runs riot.

It unfolds entirely new avenues in circus arts and sleight of hand.

This small cast makes a big show with high-end sound, lighting and staging. They get the standing ovation they deserve.
