NoVa
With gravity-defying acrobatics and dazzling juggling, this family show is full of warmth and side-splitting humour. Catch it at the Assembly Roxy, as part of the Fringe!
About NoVa
Nova is proudly presented by Canadian 'masters of slapstick' (Scotsman) Les Foutoukours who previously brought you the five-star clown show Brotipo.
Nova rediscovers the magic of circus, where dreams take flight and anything is possible. It marries clowning with a celebration of childhood creativity, set in an enchanting attic with towers of books and lit by flickering candles.
The audience is left with a sense of wonder and reminded that even in dark times there is light to be found.
