East London born The Revel Puck Circus will take over Walthamstow’s Fellowship Square 12th December–5th January.
Revel Puck’s Winter Festival will take over Walthamstow’s Fellowship Square this December offering live circus entertainment for adults and children over the festive period. East London born The Revel Puck Circus’s lavish Spiegel tent will host two circus shows throughout the holiday season: a reimagining of the classic fairy tale The Ugly Duckling: A Circus Story for children and families, and the return of Revel Pucks favourite THE RUCKUS, an acrobatic, aerial spectacular full of punk spirit for audiences of all ages. Alongside circus entertainment, the Winter Festival will also feature food from local vendors and a cozy indoor bar for show goers stocked with warming winter favourites.
The festival is open from 12th December to 5th January with daytime and evening performances as well as special performances on Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
THE RUCKUS is a celebratory circus show for everyone led by a cast of female performers. This Winter, Nancy is hosting a party under the Spiegel tent, and everyone is invited. The guests have arrived early. Quick. All hands-on deck! Nancy sends some of her absurdly talented friends out to entertain her guests while she finalises her outfit. THE RUCKUS is a patchwork of punk spirit, featuring strong women, human-sized balloons, breathtaking acrobatics, and powerful aerial skills, all within Revel Pucks’ signature welcoming and cheeky atmosphere.
Last performed on New Year’s Day this year in Walthamstow, this reimagined version stars acrobatic clown Arielle Lauzon, renowned for her mesh of floor acrobatics and clowning ability. Lauzon was previously lead clown in Revel Pucks’ Nose Dive Assembly and The Wing Scuffle Spectacular. She’s joined by talented circus performers Jackie Le, Ash Meyer, Kasyema Mulinge and Becky Robins.
A reimagining of the classic coming-of-age tale with an acrobatic twist, The Ugly Duckling: A Circus Story brings together the best of circus and storytelling to produce an energetic and hilarious yet heartwarming family-friendly experience. This original production of The Ugly Duckling is Revel Puck’s newest creation featuring some of the country’s best circus talent premiering at the Winter Festival for all ages.
