Following sold-out performances at Somerset’s Burrow Hill orchards and the iconic Minack Theatre, Pirates of the Carabina are taking this captivating show back on the road in Summer 2026.

Counterweight is a reflection on the extraordinary moments as well as the everyday moments that make us human – those things that keep us going, hold us together, and remind us that there’s more that connects us than divides us. A celebration of balance, resilience and community, Counterweight brings some much needed creative joy and hope.

Audiences will be awestruck by high-energy performances that include daring tightwire walking, hoop tricks, rope acts, and the unique wonder of a flying piano.  Showcasing the company’s signature style of performance-based rigging and human counterweighting intertwined with original live music and moments of superb comedy.

As always Pirates of the Carabina bring joyous chaos wherever they go, promising an unforgettable experience that leaves people of all ages laughing, gasping and with a new found love of the Circus.
