A FAMILY-RUN circus theatre show from Somerset is returning to the county to perform at the Brewhouse Theatre next month.
Ernie's Journey is a pirate-themed circus theatre adventure for family audiences that includes circus skills, physical theatre, stage magic, poetry, puppetry, and an orginal harp score.
Describing the show, a spokesperson for Clementines Productions said: "It felt like nobody really believed in Ernie and sometimes he wondered whether he even believed in himself.
"He discovers that being himself and following his own dreams can lead to all kinds of wild adventures, but it is the people we love who make it all worth it.
"This show has been designed to connect audiences with the waterways around where they live and how they feed into national and international ocean systems.
"This show is particularly enchanting for four to 11-year-olds but the high-skill circus will amaze audiences of all ages."
The show has been created with support from the Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Council England, which allowed it to be transformed from an outdoor show to a theatre production.
The show is produced and put on by Clementines Live Arts, is a production company responsible for producing Jackie Clementine's solo shows and collaborative work.
Clementines Live Arts was originally an ourdoor arts company that now produces narrative-led, high-impact circus theatre.
The company's work has been presented at events such as Somerfest, Hereford River Carnival, Coventry City of Culture, Taunton Live, and Shambala Festival.
The company's first indoor shows saw it present its work on rural touring schemes including Take Art, Arts Alive, Arts Out West, and Black Country Touring.
Ernie's Journey will be at the Brewhouse Theatre on Wednesday, April 20 and Thursday, April 21.
Attendees can also join the cast of Ernie’s Journey for a free circus skills workshop on the same days.
