REVIEWS

"Philippe creates a magical world and a mythical tale taking the audience on his journey through balletic movement, circus skills and mime - humour and pathos and total enjoyment"

Bill Moir, Creative Director, Durham fringe Festival

"A very beautiful show, combining the raw and the marvellous, with much laughter in between… Bravo!"

Joanna Bassi

“Strap in for a ride through the full spectrum of human emotions, from loneliness and melancholy to something close to love. Even the darkest points are delivered under a veil of humor, which keeps the tone light and energized throughout.

The storyline breaks here and there into mezmorizing dream sequences where the circus artist's technical talent takes centre stage.

The music choices are also excellent, they go far beyond 'backing tracks' bringing the piece somewhere else... working with the mime, the music sets your imagination alight, colouring in all the details of the world that Lulu creates with her actions. At the end, when the fourth wall is broken and the mime technique reflected on, it's hard to believe that all that we had witnessed was just one guy on a plain black stage.

Lulu is the story of a quirky character, a reflection on what it is to be human, and a gymnasium for your imagination to play.”

Please Note: The show is intended for 12 and up but Philippe has often performed in front of younger children without any problems. As long as the parents are comfortable with two or three mimed drug use references.
