Rí Rá Festival of Children’s Arts presents: The Fabulous Tale of BasarKus, a special performance blending contemporary circus and dance, created specifically for children by Compagnie Lamento, coming all the way to Wexford from France as part of Ireland’s cultural programme for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. With thanks to Wexford County Council Arts Office, the Department of Culture, Communications & Sport, Culture Ireland, as well as to the Arts Council of Ireland. 

The Fabulous Tale of BasarKus is a dazzling display of juggling and acrobatics. BasarKus is like no other creature. He has two heads and many arms and several legs. He is happy playing the guitar with four hands, rolling about and juggling.But BasarKu s isn’t one but two! As the performers realise they are separable, they start exploring their own special talents, as acrobat and juggler. Like inquisitive children, they learn from each other and form new mischievous combinations. Their games help them discover their own body and identity, and the wonder of growing up.
