Company from Tanger: Taoub

2000 Ft

Grab your flying carpet and take a magical ride into the world of Moroccon acrobats! Taoub (Tissue) is the meeting of Aurélien Bory French director, renowned as the ’wunderkind’ of new circus, and acrobats from Tanger who have for many generations honed their skills on the Moroccan beaches. Taoub is a peculiar ’tissue’ of different cultures and influences, guaranteed to woo the whole family!

„Director Aurélien Bory first spotted the cast of Taoub training on a beach in Tangier, and such is the charm of this intimate little circus show that you almost believe its performers never really left home. The 12 acrobats, who range in years from adolescence to late middle age, occupy the stage with the unhurried, dreamy style of people simply enjoying themselves. (…) With an insouciant brilliance, they fill the stage with multiple backflips, dizzying cartwheels, perilous human pyramids and vaulting trampoline stunts. What's doubly exciting is that they do it with so little technology. Most of the music comes from their own singing and playing, and their equipment couldn't be more basic. Even the trampoline is handheld, so that when one of the acrobats is hurtling through space, the others are having to run across the stage in order to catch them as they descend.” Judith Mackrell, The Guardian
