This is your chance to see Taroo, a parkour and circus show telling the everyday story of what happens in streets across the world and our relationship to those who care for our streets. With a fusion of acrobatics, Chinese pole and urban street moves, this show is not all that it seems.
Performed and created by Moroccan circus artist, Said Mouhssine, a free runner, stage director, actor and stunt performer, expect Mouhssine’s distinctive brand of circus comedy and parkour movement.
Setting the scene for Taroo is artist, Brahim Ech-Chibi, who will be performing Human Flag, as part of this double bill.
This is a contemporary circus double bill from Morocco which fuses Parkour, Chinese pole and urban moves.
Brahim Ech-Chibi pays homage to Icarus, dreaming of the sun, despite what fate has handed him, the Human Flag structure becomes his wing, his springboard, his cry. In Morocco, in every city hundreds of minarets rise toward the sky, proud witnesses of a tradition still pulsing at the heart of a changing world, a man’s body also tries to rise.
