From May 26th to July 29th, 2023, I had the pleasure of being part of the “La Clique” show in Manchester, and it all took place on the rooftop of Depot Mayfield. The show was produced by Underbelly, and they created a fantastic venue for the guests, complete with bars, seating, and a beautiful Spiegeltent – on the smallest stage I’ve ever performed on.
Cyr Wheel on a 2.5-Metre Stage
The world-famous, mere 2.5-meter-diameter red stage presented a unique challenge. Here, I even showcased my Cyr Wheel skills, getting perilously close to the audience. It was a breathtaking experience to be in such an intimate setting, in direct contact with the spectators.
The Hat Stand in the Spiegeltent
Particularly, the Hat Stand act thrived in this proximity and fit perfectly within the classic vintage Spiegeltent. The atmosphere of the tent and the vintage aesthetics added a touch of nostalgia.
A Young Audience
The audience was notably young, eager for entertainment and ready to have a good time. It was an honor to experience these thrilling nights at Depot Mayfield and connect with so many enthusiastic viewers.
Date, place and occasion are enough to start. A concrete offer follows promptly by email.
