"Alternately funny and poetic... LEO soars!" New York Post / USA
"Absolutely brilliant" Three Weeks / UK - Andrew Bell
With "LEO", Circle of Eleven has created a surprising and hilarious one-man show that defies the laws of gravity. Thanks to an original stage concept and ingenious video projections, LEO appears in the fabulous scenes and landscapes which leave audience members wondering which way is up and which way is down. With no sense of gravity, he heads off on a truly fantastic adventure!
„LEO“ is the newest creation of Circle of Eleven. Directed by the Montréal Actor and Director Daniel Brière, “LEO” is a one-man-piece of physical / acrobatic theatre featuring Tobias Wegner that runs approximately 60 minutes. The show developed from a Comedy act that has been created by Tobias Wegner in cooperation with Circle of Eleven in 2008. The action takes place in a striking set that integrates continuous live video projections creating a funny, intriguing, moving, and at times surreal work.
"LEO" premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2011, where it won no less than three awards: the "Three Weeks Editors Award", the "Scotsman Fringe First Award", and the "Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award".
