Ballet Poulet
Ballet Poulet
She loves dancing, he loves chickens. Nut-cracking and Swan Faking their way into your lives, these two will make you really question which came first…her tutu or his toupée?
Ballet Poulet is an non-verbal, family friendly street show featuring clown, dance, circus, comedy and absurdity.
Created in 2017 and 2018 by Kim McCafferty and Con Horgan of Fanzini Productions, it is best described as a comedic battle between dance and circus, elegance and simplicity, beauty and silliness, logic and absurdity. To date it has toured all over Ireland, South Korea and as far as the Cape Verde Islands.
Fanzini Productions is one of the foremost street arts companies based in the Republic of Ireland, touring nationally and internationally. Con Horgan, founder of Fanzini, has been performing since 1997 in a duo show Fanzini Brothers and performing solo as Professor Plunger.
Since 2013 Con Horgan and Kim Mc Cafferty have been creating and touring street theatre shows Circus Jukebox, Spailp and now Ballet Poulet.
