The world of Greek legend will be brought to life in a new circus performance at Stanley Park opening tonight.

Hailed as a ‘spectacular spellbinding show’ which will mix circus with dance ‘like you have never seen before’, DEPART is inspired by the tragic ancient love story of Orpheus and Eurydice, and will mix dance with circus throughout the park.

Set in the fading light of midsummer’s dusk, circus artists will dance over people’s heads, making the most of the park’s ‘vast spaces, iconic features and intimate wooded areas’ and ‘transform one of Blackpool’s most beautiful public spaces into the underworld’.

The show is produced by internationally-acclaimed Australian circus company Circa and is being brought to Blackpool by LeftCoast until Sunday.
