Amici Dance Theatre Company

Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, Children of all ages the circus is about to begin!

“Amici are totally and utterly inspiring” The Guardian

To celebrate their 30th anniversary Amici return to the Lyric, Hammersmith with Tightrope

, their biggest, most dangerous, amazingly spectacular show ever, a touching story of an old circus company who have stuck together, struggling against the odds to survive, but will this be their final performance ?

Amici Dance Theatre Company is a unique company integrating disabled and non-disabled artists and performers. Formed in 1980 by Wolfgang Stange, their productions and workshops have had a major impact worldwide challenging conventional attitudes to dis-ability and the arts.

In Tightrope the Amici members will be clowns and jugglers, knife throwers and illusionists, stilt walkers and unicyclists; trapeze artists and aerialists and of course there will be, the not to be missed, death defying tightrope walker.
