Circo Ridiculoso's The Balloon Gardener
directed by Bob Pearce

Touring from February 2011
Danny the Wild Balloon tamer has run out of balloons and must grow his own. The tamer turns gardener. Seeds of hilarity are sown as Danny attempts to cultivate bold, colourful, latex shapes in pots. The plot thickens with problem pests, wacky weather and weeds you have never even dreamed of. Contemporary clowning puts the rubber into shrubbery; this fool for flowers creates an organic garden of delights. Blooming marvellous!

Show length: 45 minutes approximately
Intended audience: Families and children 4+
