This event has passed.
An unusual story of love and loss, set in the world of Music Hall and Variety, inspired by the films of Fellini and Charlie Chaplin: the Great Tourrinos were happy with their life on the road, performing top of the bill on the variety circuit, until one night when tragedy struck in the middle of their show. Now, years later, reunited for just one evening, they will entertain us again with one last turbulent performance of magic, song, fire eating, mind reading….and memory. This is a magical tale of a life, lived between worlds. For full reviews and photos see www.takethespace.co.uk.
“succeeds triumphantly, because of the amazingly committed performances of Chris Barnes as Freddie Tourrino and Siobhan Nicholas as his wife Grainne. Individually they are both remarkable; together, they are a tour de force that sweeps the audience in their wake as they strike, flare up and blaze from one another’s incandescent energy” Oxford Daily Info
"A bravura display of circus skills by Take the Space ……however, the arts most truly celebrated in this energetic and energising performance were those of the simple storyteller " Portsmouth Evening News
