Once Upon A Circus - An imaginative 30-minute production. The story reveals the possibility of social transformation and youth empowerment through the circus arts. Trompie, a real member of the Zip Zap circus family, represents the array of youth whose lives have been transformed through their discovery of circus magic, affording them an opportunity to transcend their circumstances.
Anticipate circus daredevils that jump, fly, and soar effortlessly through the air in gravity-defying aerials and spectacular acrobatics. Think of them as Picasso painting with bodies, as Newtown defying gravity, they are ordinary kids doing extraordinary things.
The beauty of these acts is reinforced by the simplicity of the apparel and the crystal voice of Robyn Botha.
Journey Beyond РA Symphonic Circus - is an extraordinary artistic collaboration between Zip Zap and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra originally performed at the Artscape Opera House in 2018. Viewers can expect a mesmerising musical and visual journey that pushes boundaries and reaches a crescendo of classical entertainment. The captivating beauty of these daring acts are performed in unison with stirring symphonic performances from Dvorak to Shirley Bassey, Vivaldi to Les Mis̩rables.
