REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘One of the most shake-your-head-in-disbelief beautiful things I have ever seen. And one of the most soulful.’ The Scotsman (ImMortal)

‘The future of British circus… Cirque du Soleil without the Disney and the disinfectant… an invigorating performance to leave audiences both shaken and stirred.’ The Guardian (ImMortal)

‘Its latest show is a sensual overload of aerial acrobatics, rope work, tumbling and performance art.’ The Metro (ImMortal)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
ImMortal Staged within its own spaceship big top, this internationally acclaimed production combines stunning circus skills, live music, and a highly theatrical sense of characterisation with tightly choreographed chaos and a surreal narrative, creating a magical world that surrounds and engulfs the audience (90 mins plus interval, 20 on stage, 4 –50 on the road, tours with own venue and technical equipment.)

The ImMortal Collective A reduced version of ImMortal, suitable for a range of both open air and theatre spaces. Provides presenters with an opportunity to book a smaller version of the production, tailored to meet their specific programming needs. (15–90 mins, 1–20 on stage, 4–50 on the road.)
