Circus in a Bottle
Experience a Lifetime of Circus. Virtually.
Circus in a Bottle is an interactive and immersive live performance presented using digital and augmented reality. We follow ‘The Barker’ who, despite growing up in the Circus, has inherited none of his family’s skills. Touring big tops with his grandiose father, he witnessed it all; acts that defied logic, defined generations and underlined the majesty of the sawdust ring. But now, those once great Circus names have vanished into history for good… or have they? The Barker and his miniature assistant recreate these Circus acts from bygone years before your very eyes. Once told, he packs these stories into a suitcase ready to take to the road. This incredible experience fuses cutting edge technology with live performance using Magic Leap AR headsets. Following on from the unfortunate cancellation of this year's VAULT festival, where Circus in a Bottle was due to make its world premiere, we are excited to bring it to an alternate venue where audiences will discover some of the trapeze-like highs and the crushing lows of life under the big top. (The show follows all government COVID guidelines.)
Audience Role
The audience will be asked questions like "Has anyone heard of him?" and people can feel free to say if they have or not. The audience might be asked to help place objects on the table.
