Eugene Chaplin has been Artistic Director of Switzerland's Circus Nock for the past 5 or 6 years.
Does anyone know how to get a DVD/video copy of Cirque Invisible?
I have not been able to find anything available on DVD and, to the best of my knowledge, the show hasn't toured since the mid-90s.
@ Pat,
You Bet the are still touring. I saw them in Brussels this week. Marvellous!
Their Brussels show took on an extra dimension as Victoria celebrates her 60th birthday.
Nice photo the 2nd one!! I've never seen on the internet...
