Race Horse Company presents...

As part of bOing! International Family Festival!

Chevalier – Hobbyhorse Circus is an irresistibly charming homage to the magnificent horses of circus and the silent movie era. Drawing inspiration from the history of traditional horse circuses, Kalle Lehto’s ringmaster performs acrobatics, juggling and balancing with an amazing cast of hobby horses.

As the horses take center stage on the small manege, part of the ringmaster’s story is told in short silent movies on a small cinema screen. Kalle’s playful work with the hobby horses, natural comedic sense and the fluid movement of a breakdancer brings the magic of circus alive.

bOing! is a relaxed festival – audiences are welcome to leave and re-enter performances at any time. This performance is non-verbal and accessible to all. The soundtrack does not feature music with lyrics. Horses are not allergenic and they don’t bite!

bOing! 2024: Chevalier – Hobby Horse Circus

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
