| Footage of Circolombia performing at Cirque du Demain, the prestigious competition that annually awards the very best circus acts in the world. Circolombia wowed audiences in 2009 and went home with bronze - a massive achievement, making them one of the most respected and sought after acts around. The city of Cali, a place of joy and violence, provides the source for Circolombias freestyle portrait of a society where dance and music are the safety valves of everyday life. The exuberant young artists marry volcanic energy with a contemporary urban aesthetic to produce a flamboyant display of awe-inspiring acrobatics and dance. Their latest work, Urban, showcases the best from the Colombian national circus school, Circo Para Todos, where members of Circolombia trained. See Circolombia perform at the Roundhouse as part of CircusFest 2010 Thu 6 Sun 9 May, 7.30PM. Tickets £15 www.roundhouse.org.uk |
