Pitch’d Circus and Street Arts Festival | Weekend 2

The second weekend of Pitch’d brings a jam-packed weekend filled with late-night performances and daytime family-friendly fun.

Something for Adults

For those of us who are 18 yrs and older, the ‘Late Night Cabaret’ will be kicking us off with a bang. Filled with aerial skill, physical theatre and more, this cabaret will bring you to a new realm of wonder. The addition of the no phone zone makes this show even more desirable.

This weekend sees a first for Ireland as Kundle Cru brings their show ‘Blame Game’ to the Emerald Isle for the first time. The Irish Premiere of this circus and hip-hop fusion will take place in Circus Factory on Centre Park Road on Saturday, September 17th. Also, that night is the free family-friendly ‘Fired-up Cabaret’ taking place across the road at the Marina Market. Right after, we come right back to Circus Factory for a live gig from Pak Animal, an improv band. This will be followed by 5lowershop Soundsystem providing music for the rest of the night.

Something for Everyone, Young and Old!

For the final day of the weekend, we invite Corkonians young and old to join us at the Everyman Cork for the ‘Festival Gala‘. The festival gala is a variety show of circus and other highly-skilled performances. Some acts include Strong Women Science and Bill Irwin (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Eight Men Out, Interstellar). The Gala will be hosted by Bryan Quinn (T2 Trainspotting 2, The Rubberbandits Guide to Everything, The Professor and The Madman & Redemption).

A double-bill of comedy, circus and story-telling will also take place that night at the Circus Factory, where the weekend all began.

Throughout the weekend, catch-free family-friendly street shows at the Marina Market and Lapp’s Quay. There will be interactive circus, performances, circus movies and more including SuperStar Circus, Inma Pavon Dance, Buffa Music and Squarehead Productions (Endurance Circus).

“The audience described the show as “totally captivating”, “really funny” and “jaw dropping”. Everyone loved it. It certainly does challenge your ideas of what’s possible and delivers on what you didn’t know you wanted!”
