Nail-biting Urban Circus at The Teatro

Urban Circus

The Cirk, in association with YES SIR! Events, presents Urban Circus for the first time at The Teatro, Montecasino from 13 to 15 September 2024 for five shows only.

After sold out seasons at the National Arts Festival, Hilton Festival and The Cirk’s venue in Cresta, the producers of this exhilarating show have decided to bring audiences an even better and bigger version of Urban Circus.

The showcase is an acrobatic love letter to life in the city. Developed as a collaboration between the technical prowess of The Cirk, its incredibly skilled performers, and a magical narrative directed by Cirque du Soleil alumnus Daniel Buckland, Urban Circus uses acrobatics, acting, juggling and seamless ensemble work to take the audience on a tire-burning, nail-biting journey through a day in the city.

Urban Circus

Delicate acrobatic dance

“The show is composed of 11 vignettes, each following a central character’s interaction with different parts of the city.” says Director Daniel Buckland “Using the explosive language of circus life, Urban Circus is a story of survival, struggle and fun in the city. It portrays a delicate and acrobatic dance through the thrills and dangers of urban life.”

With a variety of high level acrobatic and circus acts including aerial hoop, trapeze, balancing chairs and many more, in combination with seamless ensemble play, physical comedy and character work, Urban Circus paints a lurid and fantastical portrait of a desperate dance for survival in the city – a head on collision daydream in traffic turns into an impeccable aerial ballet, workers packed into elevators transform into a delicious tangle of limbs, a performance review high above becomes a high stakes acrobatic boxing match, a drunken stagger home from a night out becomes a wild and comic dance of brutal grace and delicacy.

Circus performers

Urban Circus pulsates with the joy and life of the city. It’s a reminder of the magic The spectacle of circus, the magic of theatre and the incredible choral power created by the Cirk team continues to excite and inspire the audiences it plays to.

Performers include Brian Ngobese, Carmen Jooste, Claudia Moruzzi, Demi Wentzel, Kirsty Becker, Lufuno Matodzi, Marco Vargas, Nataniel Pires, Nathan Shatkovsky, Phillip Kleynhans and Zenzele Letsoela.

All ages welcome.
