The Cirque de Legume

This hotly-tipped Irish physical theatre company bring you their award-winning new show TheCirque de Légume.

Marvel at the Veget-animal! Enthrall at the Leek of Power! Fantasize over the Onion Strip Tease!

In these acts and more The Cirque de Légume finds a hidden beauty in cast-off vegetables and shows us how beautiful life can be if we only stop to play with it.

It is a love story between two clowns, their vegetables, and us.

A show that visits the margins of our cast-off, disposable world to discover the wonderful impermanence of everything and the magic of life that grows underground and unseen.
