Details
Poised, immaculate, and entirely focused on impressing his audience, an eager soloist presides over a concert catastrophe. He performs a recital that never starts... The Pianist is a contemporary solo circus performance centred on, in, under and around that most magnificent of instruments, the grand piano. One of his country's most accomplished young actors, New Zealander Thomas Monckton trained at the Jacques Lecoq School in Paris, the city he has made his home. The Pianist mixes highly skilled physical comedy with a refined contemporary circus-theatre attitude. Produced by Finland's innovative Circo Aereo, the show has toured extensively since its premiere in 2013, including a sold-out season at the most recent Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Created by Thomas Monckton and Sanna Silvennoinnen.
