CADEL: Lungs on Legs
The epic true story of the first Australian to win the Tour de France, live on stage.
Direct from a smash-hit, sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe!
Performed entirely on a bike in an epic theatrical feat of endurance by acclaimed Australian actor Connor Delves. Pedalling non-stop for an hour, he recreates the thrilling journey of Cadel’s 2011 Tour de France win, and all the triumphs, heartaches and sacrifices made along the way.
“Connor’s vision for this show is bold and exciting, and I’m thrilled to be involved from the start. He’ll be riding a BMC, just like I did (and do!), wearing the same yellow jersey I wore, and actually riding on stage every night… how cool is that? I love cycling, and I’m deeply honoured that an Australian artist has been inspired to bring my story to life for audiences worldwide. I hope you enjoy CADEL, and I encourage you to support Connor and his creative journey in giving the show a long life!” – Cadel Evans

It has the feel of an inspiring sports film translated to stage, and yet is simply just one man – creator and performer Connor Delves – and his bike

A performance of vivid, compelling energy … Working up an authentic sweat, he switches seamlessly between racing tops and headgear, and sells moments of dangerous action with visceral believability, taking the genre to a new level
