Boucan

Cirk biZ'arT, created by Laurie Roger, Jonah Katz and Rémy Bombled · Cirk Biz'Art (Cirque Biz-Arte)

A 73-minute, all-ages show mixing circus, beatbox, time travel and comedy, loosely inspired by Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot'. Three disoriented characters clean up after a chaotic party while a live beatboxer drives the action. Ben supplied preshow music, cues and several songs used in the show.
