THE NOSE DIVE ASSEMBLY Comes To Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park From May 2024

Award-winning Revel Puck Circus premiere their first new major production in three years on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, May – July 2024.

The multi-award-winning Revel Puck Circus are returning to their home turf of East London with their first new major production in three years.  The Nose Dive Assembly will have its world premiere at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in May, before touring to Gosport and Ventnor Fringe on the Isle of Wight during June and July. 

This exciting new Big Top show, a co-commission with Ventnor Fringe, is the third and final instalment in the Revel Pucks' Risk Trilogy, exploring trust, daring and community with incredible skills and artists. 

The Revel Pucks bring their quintessential immersive, joyous energy and high skill level to this brand-new circus show for family audiences.  This high energy production is jampacked with large-scale contemporary circus including daring high wire walkers, teeterboarders and bespoke apparatus. The Nose Dive Assembly also features the only female Wheel of Death duo in the UK – a thrilling, huge rotating apparatus on which performers carry out incredible balancing acrobatic skills, and is a thrilling treat for audiences of all ages.

Anyone and everyone can enjoy the spectacle of the circus in the Revel Pucks' Big Top Tent, where they create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for all.  The Revel Pucks want everyone in the community to be able to enjoy high quality, unique entertainment with their creative, thrilling shows that are suitable for all.  The Big Top bar is stocked with family favourites – and something stronger for the grown ups – and families can join The Revel Pucks in their atmospheric circus village before the show.  

Lucy Babb, Crying Out Loud Programme Producer, commented, Crying Out Loud is delighted to be working in partnership with Revel Puck Circus in 2024, building on previous successful residencies in Derby, Leyton, Bristol and Brighton, to now activate a much loved English Heritage site (Fort Brockhurst) and build new partnerships between key national, regional, local organisations and communities. Forming a key part of the new Crying Out Loud programme in the Solent and wider south-west region, The Revel Puck Circus residencies in Ventnor and Gosport are a much needed first step towards the increased provision of high-quality performance, training and artist platforming/upskilling in the Solent region.

The Revel Pucks have swiftly become a staple of the East London cultural scene, creating unique entertainment for the community.  The company is fresh off their shows at Paris' Cirque de Demain Festival, where they won the 2024 Prix Spécial du Jury and Trophée Bretange Circus, The Wing Scuffle Spectacular and The Ruckus, bringing exceptional circus to communities across the country and East London.
