about

This music was written for London-based acrobatic theatre company Mimbre's 2018 big top show, The Exploded Circus theexplodedcircus.co.uk.

It is released to coincide with fundraiser 'Juneteenth' in support of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund www.naacpldf.org.

Here, Mimbre's artistic director, Lina Johansson describes the inspiration for the original show:
"With a feeling that the world around us is on the cusp of big changes, I wanted to create a performance reflecting on this in a microcosm. Be it Brexit, global warming or the refugee crisis, there is a strong feeling of change and upheaval around us. I want to use the show to reflect, as well as imagine what could come from this change and how we can use it to grow. I want audiences to feel the palpable uncertainty around us, but also nurture a feeling of hope."
