‘It is a beautiful and original story when puppets, music, and film play together in a fable over life and death.’

A battle between the good and the evil

Macabre, funny – It all happens in a circus

Circus Funestus is an apocalyptic love comedy. The story’s microscopic hero, Mr. Flea declares his love to the adorable elephant in the circus during the performance. This love declaration makes the evil villain, Mr. Whip, becomes mad of jealousy and conspires with a bunch of evil props to take over the circus. What was once a circus show is now a power struggle between the good and the evil, a fight for life and death….for saving the lover and the circus from a collapse. Puppets, movies, music and transformative effects create a comical and magical universe for the audience. The programme was premiered and staged at April Festival 2016 in Denmark and toured to Italy, France, Russia and Spain.
