The Revel Puck Circus comes home to East London with a brand new show

Contemporary circus company The Revel Puck Circus will present their new show The Wing Scuffle Spectacular at Leyton Jubilee Park in East London from 29 July-8 August.

Following their sell-out production The Big Bagaga Show, the company return with a fresh and even bigger show that celebrates fear in all its absurdity. It is a joyous, absurd flirtation with danger, rejoicing as we confront fear, and laugh in its face.

The Revel Puck company are putting on the only contemporary circus show in the UK to feature large-scale circus disciplines such as teeterboard, cloud swing and tightwire in a big-top this year. Performers include: Fiona Thornhill, who toured her solo Cyr Wheel act with Cirque Dreams in USA in 2019; multi-award winning unicyclist and clown Sam Goodburn; aerial straps artist Imani Vital, cloud swing artist Annie Zita; the first teeterboard trio to come out of the National Centre for Circus Arts Seb Parker, Shane Hampden and Emily Lannigan; tightrope walker Poppy Plowman who is also currently working with Race Horse Company (petit mal, Super Sunday); and juggler Luke Hallgarten who has been working with renowned UK circus companies NoFit State Circus and Gandini Juggling, alongside creating and directing for the Revel Puck Circus.

Audiences will escape into this immersive universe, being led through the artists’ village of caravans, maybe catching a glimpse of the company preparing for the show, and perhaps even being offered a cup of tea. Food vendors equipped with candy floss and popcorn along with a well-stocked bar complete this escapist world.

Artistic Director of The Revel Puck Circus, Luke Hallgarten, said: “We’re back! After a year of cancelled tours and consistent isolation we cannot wait to offer east London a chance to come together for an evening of joy, laughter and wonder. Our DIY punk ethos has allowed the Revel Pucks to continue to push forward and create consistently ground-breaking circus. With a new, Covid-secure venue and a cast made up of homegrown east London talent, this new show represents everything we love about what we do and who we are.”
