Acrobats, troubadours and cabaret queens are going to be running amok at the Camden Roundhouse this summer, in new piece Club Swizzle (making its UK premiere). Coming from the creators of the award-winning La Soirée, the show runs across the month of August and transforms the venue into a functioning bar with a live band performing every night
. We get aerialist Yammel Rodriguez to give us a look behind the scenes as the piece continues its rehearsals.
