Description

From across the desert sands come legendary storytellers & men of mystery on their magical flying carpets. Played in the romantic style of Victorian men on their magnificent flying machines, mixed with the slap-stick comedy of a Bernie Clifton style ostrich illusion. These colourful, comic characters demonstrate powers of flight and levitation, enchanting all with their tall tales, terrible jokes and inept seductions.

What people think :

I hired the flying carpets to add a bit of buffoonery to our event….they were excellent! They were without doubt a big talking point with our clients, I would certainly recommend this duo to anyone who was looking for something a bit different.

Flying Carpets are street theatre alchemists, theatrical engineers and master puppet makers, continuing in the proud and ancient traditions of nomadic Showmen. Their mission is to turn the world on its head, ignite the imagination by achieving the impossible and serve humanity by reinventing the puppet, mask and clown for contemporary audiences. They fuse special effects artistry & street theatre spectacle to create a Jabberwocky world of roving eccentrica and performance. Inspired by the belief that street arts are the most accessible, democratic and altruistic of art forms, they deliver their exotic beasts in our communities beating cultural & economic hearts. Touching the residents, transforming the space & hoping to leave communities, our society and this world with a sense that, for the courageous heart, anything is possible!
