Aberystwyth Arts Centre

Sun 12 November

You’ve all heard the one about the Princess who goes to the Moon, right?  The one with epic acrobatic skills? Classic fairy tale from your childhood. Alright, maybe not, but this new show called Moonfall, from the fledgling circus theatre troupe Hikapee does promise us a magical tale for the whole family. There are no words in the show – the story is instead brought to life by just two aerial circus performers using only a rope and a hoop to weave together fantastical scenes and transport the audience to a faraway land. The two actors perform a host of different character from the comic to the dramatic.

Children and adults alike are always enthralled by a circus, and Moonfall promises to add an engaging storyline to the mix and offer up something pretty unique and definitely worth checking out if you’re in the West. If you do make the trip to Aberystwyth Arts Centre, you may not get a traditional fairy tale that you know well, but you can expect comedy, circus thrills and a dollop of charming family adventure thrown in, and possibly a new favourite tale to take home.
