Description
We had a project was created in the late 90s by Isabelle of France and Scott of England. Together with their son, Theo, they journeyed the world in a 1962 Bristol double-decker bus performing their circus comedy shows for more than 25 years!
Out group performed for the richest and poorest of the world, the Sultan of Brunei and the street children of Calcutta.
After 30 years of travelling, the circus company has installed themselves in the heel of Italy.
Immersed in the countryside with a view of the sea, just 2 km from a sandy beach, we invite you, to the heel of Italy, to take part in our courses of aerial skills and acrobalance.
We have a charming house for 6 people, a flat facing the sea with room for 5, or you can camp under the olive trees.
The International airport of Brindisi is 40km away and it is a 45 minute drive.
The Baroque town of Lecce with its stunning architectural monuments, small streets and Pugliese restaurants is only 8 km away.
