THE BAND (outdoors) is a quirky and humorous contemporary circus theatre production with a rousing soundtrack.
It’s their final gig. Sandy and Bruno met in the seventies to form a band. She was fame hungry; he was doomed to follow her. As one hit wonders, this is a story of their big come-back. With Sandy’s determination and Bruno’s blissful dedication to her, they are here; not by popular demand, but by sheer defiance.
The performers bring their unique physicality and instinctive onstage chemistry to this quirky love story in which blind devotion meets desperate ambition.
As an optional extra to booking the show, Levantes offers a chance for up to three local people (18+) to join the performance as groupies of THE BAND, with a three- hour* engagement package that includes costumes and makeup. *online and in- person engagement package *excluding shows. All costumes and make up provided.
