3 To See At The Fringe: Circus
Circus feats at this year’s Fringe include ambitious acrobatics, striking storytelling, and a daring duet
The Revel Puck Circus are back in the big Meadows tent with The Wing Scuffle Spectacular (Underbelly Circus Hub, 8–29 August, 4.10pm) featuring high-octane acrobatics, dizzying aerial feats and physical comedy aplenty. Created and directed by Sadiq Ali, Tell Me (Summerhall, 6–31 August, 7pm) is a fusion of dance, circus and storytelling that explores HIV through a contemporary lens. Following the glory of The Chosen Harem, this feels like another pending surefire hit for the Edinburgh-born circus artist. After a while away, Ockham’s Razor return with an intimate duet crafted and performed by Alex Harvey and Charlotte Mooney. Collaborator (Pleasance EICC, 6–22 August, 5pm) features two performers, a suspended metal frame and a stage.
