Animals by Cirque Alfonse is wonderfully bonkers from the start. Musicians crazy dance in. Only later do you realise most of them have unbelievable circus skills too. Incredible strength and agility with a zany sense of humour with songs in French. Or so it seemed. But after prancing pony dancing, ridiculously high pole work, seesaw somersaults and a bucking broncho, I’m not quite sure where in the world I’ve been. It all makes wonderful sense.
