Thom Monckton, Circo Aereo

Poised, immaculate and entirely focused on impressing his audience, an eager soloist presides over a concert catastrophe. He performs a recital that never starts... The Pianist is a contemporary solo circus performance centred on, in, under and around that most magnificent of instruments, the grand piano.

Performed by Thom Monckton, one of New Zealand's most accomplished young actors, The Pianist mixes highly skilled physical comedy with circus-theatre attitude, and has toured extensively since its premiere in 2013, including a sold-out season at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

"I cannot think of a single person who would not immediately fall in love with The Pianist. Highly recommended." Theatreview.org.nz, New Zealand
