Details:

Elderly and young people perform together in unique performance!

Skylight Circus Arts' Youth Circus and Silver Circus (over 55's+) have come together to share their stories of journeys, memories and hopes. Generations is a circus-theatre show which bridges the ages by bonding the talented skills of these performers and draws from their stories to take us on a journey with them, using tightwire, trapeze, juggling and a suitcase or two.

It’s not often you see 70-year-old men and women on trapeze and tightrope or a young woman juggling clubs with someone much older. But these are amongst the great sights to be seen in Generations, an intergenerational performance by Skylight Circus Arts in Rochdale.

Produced by Skylight Circus Arts, Directed by Grania Pickard, Devised by the Cast.

Skylight’s Silver Circus, where older people learn circus arts to improve their well-being, are merging their fantastic skills with the talented Youth Circus for this show. Generations is an ensemble ‘suitcase of stories’, combining circus skills, drama, dance and music.

If you expect the younger performers to be more skilful than their less flexible elders, you may be surprised. As one Silver Circus performer, Greta Green put it: “Come and see MY Generation. We’re not going to fade away!”

Please join us for one of these unique circus performances with a jampacked cast of generations bursting with creativity and ideas. This is an exciting leap forward for Skylight Circus Arts as we work with Grania Pickard, an up and coming director, writer and circus performer who works with the acclaimed 'Ockham's Razor' and her own company 'Oddly Moving'.

These engaging and accessible performances can be seen at Skylight Studio Theatre, St Chad’s Fold on 27 and 28 April and at Touchstones, Rochdale on Saturday 5 May.
