| Description |
Leo, winner of multiple awards at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011, has astounded and entertained sell-out audiences from Tehran to New York. Beguiling and ingenious, this show tells the story of a humble man with a huge imagination and the gravity-defying powers of the greatest superheroes. Stuck in a room with seemingly nowhere to go, Leo tests the limits of his strange, new world and makes the delightful discovery that he is, in fact, superhuman. Leo can scale walls like Spiderman, dance on the ceiling like Fred Astaire and meditate in mid-air like an Indian guru. Over ten years in the making, Leo challenges the laws of nature. Breaking the rules of gravity as well as genre, multi-talented dancer, actor, trampolinist, gymnast and clown, Tobias Wegner (also the show's creator) delivers a perplexing and perspective-bending experience. You and your family will flip out over this funny, astonishing and deeply touching work that tricks brains and challenges senses. |
