Highgate Calendar – Public events in Highgate, London

On roller-skates and in the air, two women revisit the interweaving stories of their past lives and loves – from the post-war optimism of the late 1940s to the domestic realities of the 1950s and beyond.

Bella Kinetica’s circus theatre show has physical feats that will take your breath away as they skate, spin and fly across the stage.

Featuring the recorded experiences of real women and with a fabulous soundtrack of 40s and 50s music; Life on Wheels is a gentle, moving look back in time.

8PM & 3PM (Sat matinee)

Jess Love: And the Little One Said @ Jacksons Lane

Tickets

Jul 14 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!

“LIVELY AND ENTERTAINING…SERIOUSLY WACKY…EXCITING…CHARISMATIC”★★★★ THE AGE
