In another exclusive circus double-bill, Efecto Chopped and Out of Order present two tender and beautiful pieces.
In an elegant and graceful fusion of two artforms, Cul de Sac features international juggler Jose Triguero and Chinese pole artist Gemma Palomar.
Meeting Point combines contemporary dance and aerial straps and hand to hand in order to create original, powerful and innovating physical performances. It tells the story of a journey; the paths we choose as individuals and the moments our paths cross with others.

Mama’s Kitchen is a place for experimentation and curious concoctions, serving up a menu of pioneering performance.
The brainchild of Shunt artist Layla Rosa and curated especially for Postcards, expect circus artists, theatre makers, musicians, visual artists and a whole heap of other exciting performances that we’re not entirely sure about just yet.
But if previous outings at The Shunt Lounge are anything to go by, Mama’s Kitchen will be unexpected and hugely memorable.

If you like your cabaret down and dirty – Las Vegas style – then this is for you. Featuring artists from Cirque du Soleil and the crème of world cabaret, Dirty Mimes is a show without boundaries, without control. They’re here to get into trouble and they want you to join in. There might be some Mime. It might be rude. There’ll be lots of anarchy. But it’s as funny as hell.

For the closing night of this year’s festival prepare for a thrilling adventure into the dark, twisted world of Alfred Hitchcock.
Walking a thin line between hilarity and horror, Hitch! was created by a troupe of international circus and cabaret artists, veterans of NoFit State Circus and the underground live art scene of London.
The audience is terrorised and tantalised as bizarre acts delve into the extraordinary mind of ‘The Master of Suspense’.
Basically, we’re seeing off the festival with a huge, peculiar, slightly terrifying but definitely awesome circus cabaret. Hang around afterwards for a late bar, cocktail concoctions and some post-show performances to die for…

Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy that started with the multi award winning shows Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.
Mark returns to the place where he first started to perform in public, a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour Club, to celebrate the club’s 50th birthday.
Interviewing old friends and comrades Mark pieces together the club’s history and works with the club to campaign with some of the poorest workers in the country for their rights.
It is the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community in a small wooden shed.
It is part theatre, part stand up, part journalism, part activism and returns to Mark’s obsessions of community and struggle.
The show will involve the audience (in a nice way) to help recreate the shed and its inhabitants.

wilde roses
Wilde Roses is an early music collaboration between singers, multi-instrumentalists, composers, dancers and performers Anna Tam and Emily Alice Ovenden who met whilst they were performing with the Mediaeval Baebes.
Musically and visually inspired by the medieval and renaissance world, we draw our repertoire from illuminated manuscripts, courtly song books, Elizabethan broadside ballads and the folk tradition. Fascinated by the stories in these songs – medieval religious imagery so beautifully infused with nature; renaissance tales of piracy, jilted lovers and general folly alongside some of the most sincere and tender love songs that reach to the heart of life and human relationships.
Anna Tam (musical director, singer, nyckelharpa, viola da gamba, hurdy gurdy player, percussion) enjoys and eclectic career both in the folk and classical genres. She trained as a classical singer and instrumentalist at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. During her early studies, she performed at the Wigmore Hall and on BBC Radio 3 and has been touring internationally since she was 15.
Emily Alice Ovenden (singer, recorders, percussion) received a scholarship from Andrew Lloyd Webber to study in London. With the Mediaeval Baebes she has made several albums, and recorded themes for BBC TV shows Victoria and Elizabeth. Emily made 3 acclaimed albums with her band PYTHIA and has recorded vocals for multi platinum selling band Dragonforce.
