A visually stunning, high-energy circus spectacle that uses acrobatic poetry and allegorical performance to celebrate the vitality and complexity of urban life.

From the Italian 'saltare in banco' – which literally means 'to jump on a bench' – Saltimbanco explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms. Between whirlwind and lull, prowess and poetry, it takes spectators on an allegorical and acrobatic journey into the heart and soul of the modern city.
