The acrobat-musicians of French company Circa Tsuica bring their Big Top to Salford for their latest circus show Now or Never.

On Mon 27 August, eleven acrobat-musicians from the celebrated French contemporary circus company Circa Tsuica will arrive on The Lowry Plaza to set up for their latest show Now or Never- a collaboration with 20 young musicians from the MAPAS Jazz Band, Salford.

Passers-by can watch as Circa Tsuica erect their red and white Big Top on the Plaza then set up their circus village around it – reinventing circus traditions for the 21st century as they start getting ready for the show.

When the tent opens on Thu 30 August, the audience is invited in for Now or Never, an exhilarating fusion of stunning acrobatics and funky brass rhythms, where acrobats, musicians and audiences all play their part. As the party begins, the performers mingle with the crowd, making and sharing Breton crêpes, before they launch into a feast of music and circus.

The acrobat-musicians fly, fling and swing across the tent on trapezes, tightropes, Cyr wheels, trick bicycles, trampolines and seesaws. All the while, they play their thundering brass rhythms accompanied by seven young musicians from MAPAS Jazz Band.

Baptiste Bouquin from Circa Tsuica will be coming to the UK to teach the 20 young musicians their role in the show, with the first workshop is taking place on Sat 7 July.
