You might not expect a circus show to take its inspiration from William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, but it’s the case with Kin, the 2016 hit from Barely Methodical, a young UK circus troupe who are rewriting the circus rules. Considering an isolated group of people living in a situation where there are no established rules and laws to protect people from each other, it’s show which is both beautiful, funny and very sad. It shows how pecking orders are established and how people jostle for status, get excluded, but also establish ways of working together despite their differences.
