Lulu Farini was a beautiful, agile and fearless acrobat in 19th-century London. Admirers showered her with gifts and begged for her hand in marriage. But Lulu had a secret!

Artist and writer Heather Tweed unveils the secret life of Lulu in this new multimedia exhibition, revealing her story through archival research.

Plus new artwork from Venice 2017, and a few familiar friends from the classic Anubis Other World Tour as they return to Bristol to watch the show.
