A Hazy Summer With Some Crazy Circus!

01 June 2025


At Take Art, we think this amazing weather will continue forever so we we’re filling summer with some wonderful events in Somerset! :) 

‘The best Take Art show we’ve ever had’ is coming for one last performance in Bruton on 5 July. Make sure you catch this side-splitting comedy, Elvis in Blue Hawaii! You don’t need to like Elvis to come along, he’s just the side show!  

In our outdoor season we are hosting two brilliant contemporary circus companies: Many Hands from Bristol (made up of a pan-European cast) and Clap Clap Circo all the way from Uruguay! Both are coming to Somerset for shows in July. Make sure you follow Take Art on social media to catch them when the venues are confirmed. 

Clap Clap Circo: BORSKA - an old circus family from which only two survive: Nina, a diva who wants to perform at all costs as if she were in her heyday, and Katrasca, a clown with little to do, who tries to ‘help’ her but no matter how hard he tries, always makes it worse. 

Many Hands circus return with their new show Obscure Desires. Comprised of incredible performers from across Europe, this Bristol-based company is famous for the structures created just using the human body. Expect human towers, turns and tumbles! 

“I was held captivatingly present the whole time, crying for most of it; the expression, the talent, the artistry of it all.”
