Compagnie 111 (F): Plan B

Compagnie 111 performs its spectacular internationally acclaimed show for the first time in Budapest - a thrilling mix of circus, dance, video, 'sonic' white-ball juggling and optical illusion. Performed on a cunning, tilting set, in itself a source of tricks and transformations, Plan B also juggles with perspective and the laws of gravity. From the opening magic of Aurelien Bory's haunting guitar the show unfolds like a dream. Impressive, complex and witty. Seeing is believing, or more likely not! Compagnie 111 members trained at the Lido Circus School in Toulouse and worked with Mladan Materic's Tattoo Theatre before setting up their own ensemble in 1999. Plan B is directed by Phil Soltanoff, artistic director of Mad Dog Theatre Company in New York.
