Combining her offbeat humour with the use of objects, Madame
Buskerfly has developed a show that blends physical comedy with circus skills. Her show has
delighted people of all ages and nationalities with its direct approach and involvement of
audience members.
The show moves from juggling with scarves, balls, clubs and Chinese
yo-yo to a death-defying card trick involving a raccoon, a deck of cards and a cannon.
As well, you'll witness an audience favourite: two ballroom dancers - life sized dancing
puppets. What the audience sees is a dancing couple - what they can't figure out is how
one performer suddenly becomes two.
Finishing the show is Madame Buskerfly's signature piece - a hilarious
stilt ballet, with Kristi as a ten foot tall ballerina. The prima donna chooses an
aspiring Baryshinikov from the audience and together they perform an unforgettable
pas-de-deux. This routine has never failed to leave the audience in stitches.
Kristi Heath has been a professional performer since the age of
eighteen, beginning her career with the Second City comedy revue company. After
graduating with a theatre degree, Kristi studied street performance with the Odin
Theatre of Denmark. She was soon combining her background in comedy and theatre with the
skills of stilt dancing, juggling and unicycling. She has been performing her own unique
style of physical comedy around the world ever since, and continues to expand her
repertoire of skills.
