This summer sees the return of Postcards Festival. For two weeks in July, Highgate will be home to a whole host of weird and wonderful acts as we present an eclectic mix of circus, cabaret and extraordinary performance.
What’s more, Postcards 2016 is breaking the mould: for the first time at a London festival, all ticket prices are up to you with the launch of our new Pay What You Decide scheme! Tickets can be reserved in advance (maximum four per booking) and after the performance you’ll have the opportunity to make a donation, either by cash on the door or card at the Box Office.
Curated by Lucy Loves Circus
Doffing our cap to the traditions of vaudeville and the origins of circus and cabaret, acclaimed circus blogger Lu Cyrcus curates this very special night, led by Cirque du Soleil’s lead clown Sean Kempton. New and old combine in this evening of contemporary varieté, featuring everything from pole dancing to aerial rope and trapeze, where burlesque meets juggling kettle bells, with a dash of musical saw thrown in for good measure.
A night to tease, whisper and gasp – Ssshhh!

Myths remixed: the classic story of Persephone is retold with live music, aerial acrobatics, fire, dance and mime. A high impact show full of hope and sorrow, it’s Greek mythology but not as you know it as this tale of love, choice and empowerment gets a contemporary circus twist. Chivaree Circus will take you on a journey and leave you ready to embrace an eternity in Hades.

If Kraftwerk made circus it would look something like this: comedy meets electro-robotic-vogueing in an epic feat of handstand endurance!
Natalie Reckert is a German hand balancer who loves to dance to electronic beats and read Wikipedia articles about load experiments. In her highly skilled one-woman experiment, she tests the limits of the body and the stability of quite a lot of eggs. Brilliantly absurd and totally unique.

David Bowie loved the circus, and we love David Bowie.
Jacksons Lane pays its respects with a once-in-a-lifetime night of spectacular sound and vision that we think will blow your minds. Performers from across the globe come together to celebrate Ziggy, the Thin White Duke, and maybe even Jareth the Goblin King as they choose their favourite Bowie look and song for a night of spaceman-inspired circus that’s out of this world.

Closing the festival in screwball style, join Ireland’s most emotional dancers as they share their bullet proof secret to life and happiness! A motivational, semi-nude, breathtakingly funny show, Sean and Seamus dance and bicker their way through an hour of physical and meta-physical comedy.

In another little step back to the ethos of the London Novello Ensemble – which is the presentation of great music outside the formal constraints of the concert hall – Murray and Gavin present the two opposites of late 19th century romanticism along with music by Delius, Vitali and Sarasate, and a selection of popular tangos including Piazzolla’s famous ‘Libertango’
Gavin Davies studied the violin with Marta Eitler and at the Royal College of Music with Jaroslav Vanecek and Natasha Boyarsky. He combines a freelance orchestral career with ensembles such as the London Philharmonic and BBC Concert orchestras with regular chamber music and solo performances.
Murray Hipkin is a fulltime member of the music staff at English National Opera, where he has conducted The Mikado, The Gondoliers, The Pirates of Penzance, Kismet, Carousel, Chess and Man of la Mancha. He is musical director of the Pink Singers and the North London Chorus and he recently finished filming Anyone Can Sing for ENO/Sky Arts in the role of music supervisor and accompanist.
Programme to include:
Brahms – Sonata No. 1 in G
Liszt – Romance
Delius – Sonata No. 3
Vitali – Chaconne
Sarasate – Zigeunerweisen
Tangos by Albeniz, Gade, and Piazzolla
Advanced booking is advised as we will be limiting capacity in order to ensure socially distanced seating is available for those who require it. In accordance with normal practice, we respectfully ask that you do a lateral flow test – available free from www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-lateral-flow-tests.com in the 48 hours prior to the concert – but please do get in touch for a full refund if you get a positive result!

Tamas Szigyarto, London-based pianist and composer, presents selected works from two original piano cycles: There Will Be Rainbow and Cone Of Silence, recently released by Navona and Oclassica labels respectively.
The two works, written in neo-romantic style with a touch of impressionism, present a musical dyad. There Will Be Rainbow is bright and optimistic whereas Cone Of Silence reflects on the darker themes of solitude and melancholy. Both cycles accumulate material written over the past decade. Finally, there will be performance of piano poem Blue Hour written by Tamas and his creative partner, pianist and composer, Elena Oleynik.
