Action in the street

Cronopia Contorsiones

CRONOPIA CONTORSION & CIRCUS ACROBATICS (ARG)

This one-girl street show features the best tricks of circus acrobatics.

From small pirouettes,handstands and hat juggling
to big stunts and strange body contortions.

 The whole thing is so naive, crazy and effortless that some spectators' jaws might drop.

Opus Furore (DE)

The Olympic Games unicycle  show is a crowd-puller for a wide variety of events and will delight the whole family. Mike & Mike reinterpret the Olympic Games and turn them into a competition full of artistry, comedy and spectacular juggling. The unicycles can be adjusted in height so that a wide variety of stage requirements can be catered for. And if fire is a problem, the torches can simply be replaced. Despite all the changes, one thing is always guaranteed: Olympic Games is entertainment at the highest level!

Rueben dot dot dot (AUS)

Reuben DotDotDot, he has been AROUND...

With a gymnastics and traditional Chinese circus background, Reuben cut his teeth performing on the hard streets in his home country of Australia. Hundreds of shows and a mountain of experience later, he moved on to festivals, stages, cabaret, fringes, corporate events, cruise ships, and circuses as illustrious as Cirque Du Soleil.

Having performed in 40+ countries and many cultures around the world, he has the skills and experience to provide entertainment either speaking or silent, for any age and any audience.

In short: tell him what you want, he makes it happen.

If he cannot make it happen, it probably can’t be done!

Mencho Sosa (ARG)

Mencho Sosa is a former professional footballer from Argentina,
known for his ability to handle five footballs at once.
He attended a circus school and transformed soccer fields into circus arenas
for his show at the Stockholm Street Festival in 2016.

humor to his performances.

 

Lisa Lottie (NL/AUS)

Lisa was born in Amsterdam, began her circus career in traditional circus in India, trained at the national circus school of Brazil and holds a degree in circus from the conservatoire for dance & drama in London. She has performed all over the world with her street show and stage acts.

This Maag (CH)
