Cirque Alfonse returns to Merrill Auditorium with Animal, a series of surreal and slightly irreverent fables for the young and the young at heart.
Journey through a reinvented land where a gentleman-farmer surrounds himself with familiar, yet crazy creatures: the chickens have teeth, the ducks are very naughty, the cows run amok and the barn is upside down! In this wacky world, the imagination flirts with childhood tales, clichés are wildly twisted, fables are surreal and irreverent, and rurality is as energetic as it is poetic. Awesome in their virtuosity and irresistible in their comedy, Cirque Alfonse expounds once again on its acclaimed approach where circus, song, dance, theater and, of course, live music come together in delightful and unexpected ways. Animal is the farm gone haywire!
