Lost in Translation Circus Adds Extra HOGWALLOPS Dates

Lost in Translation's ever popular family show The Hogwallops has just announced new dates for October 2017.

The Hogwallops is a colourful, loud and funny story of the domestic adventures of a chaotic, dysfunctional family of misfits in which thrillingly spectacular circus skills blend seamlessly with physical comedy, clowning, juggling and slapstick. This much in demand show is presented by the five-strong international cast of Lost in Translation Circus. It has toured extensively in the UK and Europe, been a big hit with audiences and critics alike for two years running at the Edinburgh Fringe and now has a further eight UK performances in October 2017 in Huddersfield, Hull and Folkestone.

It is a genuine family circus show that is eminently suitable for small children but also has plenty for adults to enjoy too.

Inspired by The Twits by Roald Dahl, and Ettora Scola's film Bruti, Sporchi e Cattivi (Ugly, Dirty and Bad), The Hogwallops is a treat for the eyes and ears. The hilarious family's antics create a crazy home that resembles an adventure playground where riotous, anarchic fun prevails. Everyday activities become triggers for mayhem. Simple tasks like hanging out the washing become a tangle of swinging, flying bodies and fabric. Dinner-time becomes a teasing game of animalistic juggling and baking takes on dangerous proportions that would appal Mary Berry as the household furniture is precariously stacked and balanced on the roof.

Fast becoming established as one of the country's leading and best-loved contemporary circus companies, Lost in Translation combine their trademark warm humour with heart-stoppingly virtuosic skilful aerial and floor acrobatics. Watch out for the high flying, daredevil zimmer frame aerobics as well as some beautiful aerial ballet. A specially composed music score contributes to the mix, creating a quirky and comic family show in the true sense - with thrills, gasps, laughs and drama. there's plenty for both adults and children to enjoy.

Lost in Translation are UK based with an international membership featuring performers originating from Italy, France, Ireland and Australia. Founded by Circus Space graduates in 2006, the company has toured widely throughout the UK and Europe. www.lostintranslationcircus.com
