ARE YOU READY TO GET OUT THERE?!

We have put the finishing touches to the line-up for the 4th edition of the Out There International Festival of Street Arts and Circus, and with acts coming from over 10 different countries this year’s event promises to be bigger than ever!

Come along to St George’s Park in Great Yarmouth on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th September to see some astounding performances from some world-class acts, including a hilarious acrobatic duo from Sweden, a trampolining acrobatic troupe from Belgium and a jet-propelled thrill seeker from Austria!

This year’s event will see the triumphant return of French company ‘Les Trois Points De Suspension,’ who proved to be a smash hit at Out There in 2009. The company will be bringing their bouncy stilts show ‘Mr. Baryton’ to perform alongside shows by some brilliant performers from much closer to home.

Another act sure to get Great Yarmouth talking is the phenomenal ‘Mario, Queen Of The Circus.’ Fresh from a 4 year world tour, Mario comes briming with unbridled passion. An expert in both circus artistry and comedy, his unique mix of complex juggling tricks and universal sex appeal can only find release in the arena-rocking anthems of his favourite supergroup – Queen!

The Saturday programme will finish with a Seafront Spectacular on Great Yarmouth promenade, featuring acts from France, Ireland, The Netherland and the UK. Traditional Breton Dance Champions ‘Eostiged Ar Stangala’ will be inviting members of the public to join them in a 45 minute music and dance celebration, before the UK’s leading contemporary circus company ‘NoFit State Circus’ perform their spectacular new open-air show to finish the day in breathtaking style!

On Sunday 18th September Out There will return to St George’s Park for another day of fantastic entertainment. Shows will include an extra special one-off performance from The Rubberband Boy, plus some talented local young people will be taking to the stage alongside artists from NoFit State Circus, Hocus Pocus Theatre Company and local artist Hayley Bird to show off their circus skills in a brand new performance piece created especially for the festival!
