The Library Presents: Gibbon

Chris Patfield & José Triguero present ‘Gibbon’, a humorous and surreal show which combines mesmerising juggling with dance and physical theatre. Together they explore the absurd and comedic aspects of the determination to try and try again. Performers as skilled as this make juggling look easy, but how many times do you have to fail before you make something perfect? ‘Gibbon’ shows us how two charming performers work as one. Poetic and original, this is a devastatingly slick and wonderfully thought provoking production.
