THE Shunt Vaults is a bizarre and wonderfully unique venue -- dark, eerie and otherworldly. This makes it the perfect location for Gothic Circus, a show that is much more art installation than theatre, but proof that the consistently innovative London International mime Festival knows no boundaries. Sharmanka ("barrel organ"), founded in Russia and now Glasgowbased, specialises in charmingly crafted mechanical metal structures. as fairground-meets-classical-meets-jazz music plays, Eduard Bersudsky's intricate contraptions spring magically to life. model rats wind handles like miniature galley slaves, a tiny monkey fishes, a devil is pulled on a chariot.
