A timeless acrobatic spectacle about the beauty, boundaries and appeal of violence.

Tall Tales Company takes you on a fascinating journey full of circus, violence and classical music. The show A Clockwork Orange is a circus adaptation inspired by the cult classic of the same name by Anthony Burgess, made into a film by Stanley Kubrick in 1971. Exactly fifty years after the film was released, six circus artists bring this story to life. Experience the senseless boundlessness of gang leader Alex and his companions in acrobatic feats in the theater.

We live in a world in which far-reaching measures are being taken to increase citizens' sense of security, but is this not at the expense of our rights as individuals? Are we trapped in regulations and a system that defines us? Of A Clockwork Orange you can step into a world where you don't have to follow the rules for a while. Come and see the extremes of the human body and the forces that are unleashed in this one-of-a-kind circus performance!

This performance is suitable for the age category 15+.

Please note, the performance contains images of (sexual) violence that can be experienced as shocking.

“Extremely well played […] The daring performance is hard and at the same time graceful, grim and shocking, violent and it has beauty thanks to the music. Acrobatics is used as a representation of violence – which is a brilliant idea… The ultimate circus act. But completely different.”  Kester Freriks, Theaterkrant
