Cirque Berserk! to celebrate tenth anniversary with residency at Riverside Studios

Cirque Berserk! will celebrate its tenth anniversary year with a five-week residency at Riverside Studios this spring.

Following sold-out seasons in the West End and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Britain’s biggest and boldest theatre-circus spectacular will play up to three shows daily from 9 February to 12 March 2023.

The new show for 2023 features a range of performers from across the world making their UK debuts alongside a host of Cirque Berserk! favourites including the world’s most hair-raising circus act – the legendary motorcycle Globe of Death – in which fearless motorcyclists defy gravity traversing the inside of a spherical steel cage at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour.

They’re joined by a magnificent company of over 30 jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, dancers and daredevil stuntmen, including a multi-talented acrobatic troupe from Mongolia and – back by popular demand – the brilliant Brazilian aerialist, physical-comedy star and ‘capoeira’ champion 3ft 6in (107cm) Paulo Dos Santos.

Producer Martin ‘Zippo’ Burton said: “Circus is the most diverse and accessible form of live entertainment – our show really does have something for everyone, and we look forward to welcoming audiences to Cirque Berserk!’s new London home at Riverside Studios.”

Riverside Studios Creative Director Rachel Tackley added: “I am so excited to be welcoming Cirque Berserk to Riverside for their 10th anniversary show. Riverside has always been a place where you’re entertained, inspired and surprised.

“Cirque Berserk!‘s international troupe of acrobatics and aerialists is certainly going to do just that – and more! This show is the perfect evening out for grown-ups or half term treat for families!”
