BY TRIAL & ERROR
Cirque Content Pour Peu presented by Young At Art as part of the Belfast Children's Festival 2026
A delightful show of acrobatic lifts, full of humour borrowed from burlesque and silent cinema.
From a simple black curtain two circus artists emerge, ready to enthral their audience with a well-practiced routine. But as they begin their first lift, they’re hit by uncertainty. Is this the right move? Is this what we rehearsed?Determined to keep going no matter what, the disoriented duo invents new tricks and lifts with hilarious consequences. By Trial and Error is a delightful show of acrobatic lifts, full of humour borrowed from burlesque and silent cinema, where the audience is constantly surprised by the antics, skill and charm of the performers.
“This delicate show will leave you perched on the edge of your seat and beaming from ear to ear”
