Over the Wall + TALK Conor McCormack + Circus2Iraq
Talk: Circus2Iraq
Circus to Iraq started out in 2003/4 as a direct and active response to the Iraqi war. We perform in community centres, hospitals, schools, streets, houses and refugee camps…Generally where ever we’re needed. We believe that every child has a right to play and want to share simple playful ideas that can be passed around communities. We hope that by being silly and playing games we can break down the physical and mental barriers that living in a war zone can cause.
Join us for fun and interactive talk exploring the joy that laughter and play can bring to the people of Palestine and Bristol.
