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.

As a strong variety or street soloist, duo or troupe member he is a bona fide entertainer.                                                                                                                                Whether it’s a 5 minute spot, a 15 minute ambient set, a 20 minute silent stage act or an hour long interactive street show. Reuben can provide the entertainment you are looking for. 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!
