Circolombia: URBAN

4 Apr 2011 - 16 Apr 2011 / Roundhouse Main Space

Following a sell-out run as part of Roundhouse CircusFest in April 2010, Circolombia are back with a reworking of Urban for 2011.

Forget everything you know about circus. Circolombia is nothing like the animal jumping circus you remember as a child. Circolombia is gritty, modern, full of attitude and comprised of a motley crew of exuberant young artists, whose awe-inspiring acrobatic prowess is matched by their high voltage energy. 

Urban features some of the best performers from Circo Para Todos (Circus For All), Colombia's national circus school and the first professional circus school in the world for disadvantaged young people, which produces world-class performers.

Set against the backdrop of the Colombian city Cali, Urban weaves through the dark street life, with a freestyle portrait of society, incorporating both joy and violence where dance and music are the safety valves of  everyday life. With a pounding live reggaeton soundtrack, raw contemporary aesthetic and volcanic force, Urban is truly unforgettable.

'Their joy is completely infectious' Metro****
'A visceral rawness makes Circolombia so appealing and the antithesis of the technically perfect Cirque du Soleil' Evening Standard****
'A show with real attitude and a great night out' Guardian****
‘Hugely entertaining, bristles with attitude... infectiously energetic’ The Times***
