Speakeasy circus back at Paris Palais des Glaces

"Speakeasy" doesn't seem to leave Paris so much the audience is present at every wave of shows...
After meeting an indisputable success - critically and publically - this summer and for the Holidays at the Palais des Glaces, the "Speakeasy" show, a creation of The Rat Pack circus will be performed again in Paris in this very venue.
Speakeasy will be back at the Palais des Glaces from Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m. from June 11 to August 10, 2019.

The Rat Pack is a contemporary circus company. In line with this modern approach, good riddance to circus tent, clowns, red noses, tamed animals, magic wands and juggling balls. With “Speakeasy”, The Rat Pack takes us to a New York clandestine bar in the 30’s. The story is panting and told via circus and choreographed acts.

The “Speakeasy” show includes 6 acrobats/comedians on stage taking us to the time of the Prohibition in the United-States. They mix movie, theater arts and hip-hop dance. Prohibited alcohol, gangsters, settling of scores, forbidden love are to be expected for the show. At the time of the Prohibition, “speakeasy” used to be the name given to clandestine bars.

The original soundtrack is by French group DJ Chinese Man who shared the stage with the circus artists for the very first time in La Cigale for thwo performances this past March 2019 and music was played live.

We can't recommend Speakeasy enough. It's one of the most beautiful - if not the best - shows of contemporary circus that we saw lately.
