Cirque Africa comes to Aus

Cirque Africa comes to Aus

This June, internationally acclaimed Cirque Africa will go on tour Down Under for the first time.

Cirque Africa, under the guidance of inveterate producer/director Winston Ruddle, combines acrobatics, theatre, song and dance.

Above all, however, it celebrates African culture.

“The show is a true delight for the senses and is sure to get the audience members’ hearts racing!” Ruddle says. “We’ve worked extremely hard to present a show that will introduce Australian audiences to African culture, both traditional and modern, and leave them utterly mesmerised. We are striving for an energetic response from the audience – we want to take your breath away and get you up out of your seat.”

The highly-skilled cast is made up of 38 of Africa’s finest aerial artists, jugglers, stilt dancers, contortionists, clowns and more.

While the core of the cast hails from Tanzania, the show draws influence from the musical cultures of Kenya, Ethiopia, Ghana, Gambia and Zimbabwe.

Performers will be dressed in over 200 one-of-a-kind African costumes and will be joined by an eight piece live band. This is the first time the show will be performed in a big top tent.

Cirque Africa is a primarily visual performance, so language and/or cultural barriers will not pose a problem for English-speaking viewers keen on experiencing the joie de vivre of the African continent.

Ticketek will be selling all advance tickets. For more information on the show and how to book tickets please visit www.cirqueafrica.com.au. Ticket prices vary depending on seating area.
