Full Circo...I really wouldn’t mind getting stuck in a blackout with the cast as my neighbours...
by Valerie Cardinal
Circo Hiverno isn’t a linear play; it’s a circus. Its various acts, which range from yo-yo demonstrations to clowns, are tied together with one very loose narrative thread. The performers are all living in the same building, and the audience is witnessing their performances as their neighbours would.
It really puts into question how well you know your own neighbours. For all you know, that guy next door could be an amazing trapeze artist. At least, that’s Circo Hiverno’s theory, and I really wouldn’t mind getting stuck in a blackout with the cast as my neighbours; at least you know you’d be entertained.
