Taroo and Human Flag are designed for family-friendly audiences.

Info

The circus has come to town – to Luton town!

This August is your chance to see Taroo, a parkour and circus show telling the everyday story of what happens in streets across the world and our relationship to those who care for our streets. With a fusion of acrobatics, Chinese pole and urban street moves, this show is not all that it seems.

Performed and created by Moroccan circus artist, Said Mouhssine – a free runner, stage director, actor and stunt performer – expect Mouhssine’s distinctive brand of circus comedy and parkour movement.

Setting the scene for Taroo is artist, Brahim Ech Chibi, who will also be performing Human Flag, as part of the double bill.

Join us at Central Square, Luton Point (Mall) on Friday 1 August & Saturday 2 August at 12:30 and 15:30 daily.
