High up on rickety shelving, books are piled in precarious columns. In a world of transformation and wonder, they become headdresses, slippers, a paper tutu and corset. Butterflies appear from within their pages and paper planes fly through the air.
These BooksAre Made For Walking is a magical show which is being staged at The Secombe. Delightfully inventive it mixes circus skills with theatre in a highly original and entertaining way.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
These Books Are Made For Walking has been created by Bikes & Rabbits. The company was created in 2012 by Alice Allart, a young circus artist who specializes in trick cycling, slack rope and object manipulation. She is strongly influenced by visual art, cinema and literature which gives her work a strong visual identity.
French born she trained at the Nation al Centre for Circus Arts (NCCA) in London where she graduated in 2010. Since then she has toured with international companies as well as creating work under the name of Bikes & Rabbits. Her first piece Triptych, which toured internationally, was a solo mixing of trick cycling, slack rope and object manipulation
