Citrus Arts presents 'Wardrobe Diaries'
directed by James Roberts

Touring Autumn 2012
A first-born girl enters the world alone.
Twin boys arrive, full of trouble.
Laura is the youngest.

In a rich mix of aerial and acrobatic skills, dance, honest imagination and quirky humour; the Citrus crew move up, down and around a wall of 20ft climbing poles and two tonnes of discarded clothing. ‘Wardrobe Diaries’ is based on those Sunday afternoon clothing clear-out moments that remind you of not going to bed without your favourite Spiderman pyjamas, wearing a fur coat at a festival, things that belonged to grand-parents, the costumed Hen/Stag-night you had last summer and all of that stuff you bought, but never wore. Featuring the music of Ted Barnes (composer to Beth Orton), the lively, soulful beats of Mr Scruff and a cast of top-end circus and dance artists.

Reviews

"The circus is principally a mode of lyrical image-making. It’s exceptionally beautiful to watch… a collection of enjoyable and affectionate vignettes."
Sideshow Circus Magazine

"Displaying much in the way of colour, visual trickery, comedy and dramatic improvisation, Wardrobe Diaries is a carefully choreographed journal of self discovery… the production displays a cool fusion of meticulous choreography and acrobatic skills."
South Wales Argus

"Wardrobe Diaries is far from empty headed populism. There is enough art-house meat on these clowns' bones for more demanding theatre goers… anarchic wit and a big heart."
Theatre in Wales
