Event information
Urban Circus is an acrobatic performance with the city of Johannesburg at its centre.
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 an even better and bigger version to Montecasino.
The performance was 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. It 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.
The show is composed of eleven vignettes, each following a central character’s interaction with different parts of the city. 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.
