Piccadilly Circus Circus

For one day only, on Sunday 2 September, Crying Out Loud transformed central London into a pedestrianised paradise full of surprises and spectacle as the streets were brought to life and iconic landmarks become the playground of the world’s most exciting contemporary circus performers.

Over the course of one incredible afternoon, 143 performances of 48 different acts by 33 companies took place across 15 spaces, with 247 performers!

Crying Out Loud’s Artistic Director Rachel Clare introduces the day  “the elements of the architecture on Regent Street are absolutely fantastic, they’re really suitable for the way we want to animate and bring to life contemporary circus artists”  watch here
