Circus / New Years Eve

‘A multi-sensory audio-visual car wash for the soul’

By Sarski Anderson  Tuesday Dec 14, 2021

Legendary Bristol circus collective the Invisible Circus have been behind some unique, extraordinary, and memorable nights over the years, from their seminal Carnyville nights at The Island, to 2019’s Futur Ville at Ashton Court; and numerous performances at Boomtown Fair and Glastonbury Festival along the way.

In the last five years, they’ve found their home at The Loco Klub, which has played host to numerous Invisible Circus shows including Tunnel of Love, Mad Hatter’s Ball, The Feast of Fools, Halloween Spook Show, The Renegade Fabulon, Necropolis – City of the Dead, and Circo Bizerko.

Their unique blend of immersive performance, interactive installation, music, lighting, and a plethora of roaming circus acts allows you to go into spaces transformed into other worlds.

Independent journalism
is needed now More than ever
Keep our city's journalism independent.

And with everyone dialling up the costumes and characters to 11, you never quite know who is performing, and who is not.

This New Year’s Eve, The Invisible Circus are back at The Loco Klub to host YOUTOPIA, which promises to be ‘a juxtaposition of the dystopian underworld at the World’s UnFair’.

Everybody can imagine the end of the world …… but can we imagine a new beginning? Step into YOUTOPIA, a multi-sensory audio-visual car wash for the soul, dazzle into the spotlight and shine like the star you are! Laugh like you’ve never known sorrow, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance with us into the dawn of a bright new year. Apathy is our enemy, love is our friend. So bask in the glory, bathe in the light, and shine in these times that will never be again!

Music on the night will be provided by Alfresco Disco DJs, along with Shambarber and Transistor Rhythms b2b Local Motive. There will be artwork, dancers, light shows, and as ever, a host of performers roaming the venue.

 

YOUTOPIA is at Loco Klub, Clock Tower Yard, Bristol, BS1 6QH on December 31, 2021. Tickets are available from www.headfirstbristol.co.uk.
