Casting Off

Entrée

Cluster Arts & A Good Catch Circus [AU]

José Pedro Fortuna [PT/GB]

CIRCUS

Casting off stereotypes, these dynamic Australian women tumble, talk, fly and balance precariously. A disarming, hilarious show about living on the edge and talking about it; and how it's easier done than said. Circus that makes you laugh and cry simultaneously! Relaxed, personal and fantastically inappropriate.

He's the master of ceremonies: tall, dark and handsome. An MC shows up on stage to present a show, but unexpected events occur. What happens when the Master's props gain a life of their own? 'Entrée' is a physical comedy and magical journey about the struggle of an eccentric character.

Cluster Arts Pty Ltd [AU]

FAMILY

11/03/2020 11:21:27 AM

The boys are coming back to Brighton! 'Chores' is the story of two typical young rascal boys playing in their messy bedroom. Suddenly, Mother's alarming screams rattle the boys back into acrobatic action. A generous serving of comedy and chaotic acrobatics accompanies every attempt at cleaning their room. Hit of the Edinburgh Fringe 2019!

The performance shows a relationship between human behaviour and nature by telling a story of a caterpillar turning into a human through three magical journeys. With almost no dialogue but colourful, visual language which merges the traditional Chinese opera, movement, puppetry, animation and music.

A journey of a story in dreams. The tale is adapted from the Buddhist Jataka tales, which were discovered as cave paintings in the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, China. It shows a balance between love and being loved, and beneath that it is a warning about returning to our true love by rejecting obsession, greed and desire.

COMEDY

Based on the 1952 Oscar-winning short film by Norman McLaren, a comic and satirical anti-war parable about two peaceful clown neighbours who embark on an escalating conflict over a beautiful flower that grows between their properties. With fences, humour and absurdity and the crossing of swords, it's looking awfully relevant right now.

PUPPETRY

This show rocks! A hilarious circus show for children and parents of all ages, following three foolish Neanderthals as they struggle to survive the harsh natural world. Awesome circus tricks! Back flips, handstands and aerial stunts with tongue-in-cheek humour for the adults. From the creators of the smash hit pirate circus show 'Arrr We There Yet?!'

The year is 1969 and NASA has just put the first man on the moon. The world is transfixed, everyone is watching, including eight-year-old Maisie Robinson. From that moment, Maisie knew that she was destined to be an astronaut. But unknown to Maisie, people had other plans about her future. After all, girls don't do science, do they?

"Startlingly insightful" (The Guardian).

'Random Acts of Nonsense 2: The Sequel'. After the fun and success of last year we are doing it all over again! RAON is a fun, interactive family show created by a family.

In this hugely interactive show, a renegade inventor needs the audience to solve 60 problems in 60 minutes before his Great Robotic Triangulator on stage triangulates earth into a trillion tiny triangles. Tasks are funny, theatrical and based on real-life issues (like wizardry, space exploration or what to do if you get stuck in a lift with a cloud). www.iamsamquinn.com

Where do art and migration meet? What does art have to say about migration and belonging? Do artists with a migration background create art differently? As a country with a long history of migration, the exhibition 'The Art of Migration' will explore all these through a showcase of paintings, films, installations and photography, talks and performances. www.seasbrighton.com

Join the learners at DVLSC as they explore adulthood through inclusive dance, art, music, film and poetry. An inclusive afternoon, open to the community, family and friends. The show will explore what their aspirations, challenges and feelings are through the path of adulthood. Light refreshments on arrival, art for sale and a raffle.

David Benedictus thought it a shame that Milne had limited himself to just 20 stories concerning the goings on in the forest, and so he set about writing some more. It was not a straightforward task but nothing like as tricky as persuading the Milne Estate to give the project their goahead. After eight years the trustees agreed. Come along and judge for yourselves whether they should have done.

All around the world Roald Dahl's words are disappearing! Now only a secret organisation known as The Ancient Guild of Taletenders can save the stories and they need your help... Especially made for ages six and up, the show is an immersive and interactive performance, involving games and imaginative play, while exploring Roald Dahl's extraordinary stories!

Absolutely Brighton: The Original City Tour

Best of Brighton Walking Tour

Brighton City Walks [GB] 7+

Free Walking Tours Brighton - Real Brighton Tours [GB]

WALK

HISTORICAL

Brighton's No. 1 traditional city walking tour, perfect for visitors and residents alike. Join us for 90 minutes of fascinating facts about this incredible city. Find lost fishermen's cottages, curious little twittens, and a long lost little black cat on this acclaimed tour. TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Award winner 2016, 2017, 2018.

Why was Brighton's palace built like an Indian mosque? How did two women marry in 1923? Why did tourists drink sea water and even mix it with milk? Wives for sale, a railway in the sea, a useless king and a war hospital with chandeliers, the free brighton walking tour has it all. A percentage of tips even go to a local homeless charity.
