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 multi national 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.
