Winners of 15 international prizes, including the Cirque Du Soleil Trophy at Paris’ prestigious Festival Mondial De Cirque Du Demain, Compagnia Baccalá’s Pss Pss brings enthralling acrobatic feats together with inventive, delightful and often ridiculous visual storytelling that keeps you laughing long after leaving the theatre. Inspired by Chaplin, Keaton and the stars of silent films, modern-day clowns Camilla Pessi and Simone Fassari ran away from one circus to start a circus of their own — and, in doing so, they created a world that is timeless and tender, hilarious and ingenious and beloved around the world.
