SUBVERSIVE circus act Petit Mal returns to the Lighthouse Poole on June 12-13.

Petit Mal is a darkly humorous, visual dose of impossible circus theatre and was a big success on its first visit to Lighthouse two years ago. On a stage littered with garage debris, three characters are kicking their heels, looking for something to do.

They perform extraordinary acrobatics with wild physicality and careless daring. Break-dancing, martial arts and hip-hop moves fuse with trampoline solos and disjointed juggling with found objects.

The soundtrack is by Tuomas Norvio incorporating music by Bob Dylan, Joy Division and DJ Shadow.

Tickets are on sale now.
