About NoVa

Listed Under Family and Kids Events / Theatre Events

Nova is proudly presented by Canadian 'masters of slapstick' (Scotsman) Les Foutoukours who previously brought you the five-star clown show Brotipo.

Nova rediscovers the magic of circus, where dreams take flight and anything is possible. It marries clowning with a celebration of childhood creativity, set in an enchanting attic with towers of books and lit by flickering candles.

The audience is left with a sense of wonder and reminded that even in dark times there is light to be found.
