Birmingham, late 19th century, bicycle couriers working for the gangs of
criminals... Very clever, they easily escape the police.
In 1921, these delivery men, already known as Peaky Bikers, decided to settle down and created the first troupe of cycling acrobats in England of the same name.
For 20 years, they traveled the roads of Great Britain and then Europe,
but we lost track of them after the war.
Costumes and presentation from the 20s, acrobatics on the ground and on the springboard... Only the
Bicycles and aerial flights have been brought back into fashion.
Between acrobatics, witticisms, humor and careful staging, the father and son duo, Johnny and Eliot, the only descendants of this line of outstanding acrobats, reconnect
today with everything that made this troupe famous.
Wandering
The Street Parade version is performed outdoors, in streets, squares, markets or parks. The artists move around on bikes and go to meet the audience, creating a unique and interactive proximity.
This format works in several passes throughout the day: each pass lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, and can be repeated 2 to 3 times depending on the event. Ideal for festivals, village celebrations, markets or street entertainment.
The show is technically self-contained (sound and microphones provided) and adapts to the atmosphere and the venue.
Attention ladies and gentlemen, the Peaky Bikers are on the street!
As a duo, as in the old days, they harangue the public at the bend of a street, an alley or a square, perched on a penny-farthing, harnessed to a looping bike or performing tricks on a BMX.
They adapt to the atmosphere with their English phlegm or disturb when everything is peaceful, it's your choice or not!
If you're lucky, they'll be friendly and let you take a picture with them, or even let you climb on the Gran Bi and become a Peaky Biker for a moment!
