A joyful big top spectacular for families and arts lovers
A Glimmer Daze Gambit is a show about hope, arrival and community. Stella and Kit have finally arrived at their dream home, a circus. Desperate to join the troupe, they have brought everything they think they might need. Having never seen a circus before, they have had to imagine what might be of use.
Through a journey of discovery, they realise that to fail is to learn, that community is forged in the mistakes, and that to care about something is as important as the thing itself.
Presented in Revel Puck’s signature style, high spectacle, largely non-verbal storytelling through mime, clowning and acrobatics, the show is designed to be welcoming for a wide range of audiences, including families and first-time circus goers.
What to expect in the ring
Inside the Revel Puck Big Top, audiences can expect a proper parade of skills, including:
Teeterboard
Aerial cradle
Straps
Cloud swing
Bounce juggling
Icarian acrobatics
Group acrobatics
Plus a Revel Puck original that has become a signature crowd moment, the Rola Globe, a giant globe topped with a square platform, where nine performers balance together in a breath-holding feat of teamwork, timing and nerve.
The cast brings together a collective of grassroots London-based and international circus artists, including performers from Argentina, the USA, Ethiopia and Canada.
With a limited two-week run in the heart of the Deal, Kent audiences are encouraged to book early. Tickets and information are available at https://www.tixr.com/groups/revelpuckcircus, with a range of performances Thursdays to Sundays during the school summer holidays.
