A Story Without Words with The Exploded Circus

FEATURING a breath-taking mix of acrobatics, surprising aerial feats and masterful juggling, The Exploded Circus is coming to Leicester.

It weaves a story without words, where six women come together to seek order in the chaos and create a new normal. In this new production, Mimbre’s joint artistic director Lina Johansson joins forces with critically-acclaimed designer Loren Elstein and experimental composer Quinta.

With striking imagery and subtle humour, the show explores themes around change, hope and belonging.
