We're excited to attend Pitch'd Circus and Street Arts Festival by Circus Factory. We're hosting producer events and we'll be seeing work from Promenade supported artists Matt Szczerek of Kundle Cru, Polina of VolkiDana and Elisa Gallo Rosso.
What's on at Pitch'd with Promenade?
Birds by Kundle Cru
BIRDS is led by choreographer and director Matt Szczerek and takes the themes of injustice and oppression from cult classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. A raw expression of pent up frustration at today's norms and expectations where our wings feel clipped and freedom is a luxury most of us can't afford anymore.
Will we wait for change or create it ourselves?
Enjoy Kundle Cru's unique style involving the unconventional use of a Chinese pole and hybrid style of juggling, contact dance and hip hop.
August 23rd at Circus Factory
