CIRCOLOMBIA - ACÉLÉRÉ (Colombia)

Circus superstars Circolumbia are returning to amaze with their renegade brand of dance, live music and astounding acrobatics. 

Welcome to the new revolution. Circolombia, a supercharged company of youthful Colombian artists, has been changing the face of contemporary circus now for over a decade. Their latest phenomenon, Acelere, smashes all preconceptions of circus with a high-risk, adrenalin-fuelled production bursting with Latin fire, urban flavour and heart-stopping energy.

Delivered with the rawness and attitude of South American street life, Acelere turns the spotlight on 15 incredible performers and their endless feats of strength, balance, tumbling and insane pinpoint accuracy. Every gutsy and improbable stunt is staged in the same breath as Circolombia's trademark circus-concert soundscape, a vibrant mixtape of Latin hip-hop, cumbia and drum 'n bass, complete with raps from the fierce female ringmaster performed live and in the spirit of an infectious dance party.

Rebellious, dynamic and wildly entertaining, this is no ordinary circus. It's simply extraordinary.
