A performer jumps over a table which is being passed under them by 4 other performers, all on a giant treadmill

A mesmeric new outdoor show combining exhilarating acrobatics, adrenaline-pumping street dance and breathtaking roller skating, set on a giant moving treadmill!

RPM explores the tragic, comic and absurd aspects of modern society, unravelling untold links between current problems and the UK's troubled history - it asks the question: has this country ever confronted its colonial past?

Gorilla Circus is a contemporary circus company specialising in imaginative, sophisticated high-octane works with strong narratives surrounding global issues.

The Corn Exchange Newbury and 101 Outdoor Arts' outdoor programme is supported by Arts Council England and Greenham Trust.
