Cirque Zuma Zuma Tickets

About Cirque Zuma Zuma

Forget everything you think you know about the circus, because an encounter with Cirque Zuma Zuma is bound to completely rewrite your ideas about what a circus can and should be. Empty your mind of old ideas about elephants and painted clowns and twirling trapeze artists, and fill it instead with a dazzling array of acts that represent the music, magic, and movement of African traditions. 

African Acrobats International, the company behind Cirque Zuma Zuma, makes it all possible by bringing African circus acts to audiences across the globe. They've sprinkled their singular brand of circus magic everywhere from Europe to Australia, leaving lots of sold-out houses and gobsmacked audiences in their wake. 

They don't do it by simply slapping a new coat of paint on the sort of circus fare you're used to. The full Cirque Zuma Zuma experience involves so many astonishing elements, it's almost a challenge to absorb them all. If you've never come across Gabonese tumblers, Ethiopian contortionists, Zimbabwean percussionists, or Ethiopian foot jugglers — to name just a few of Cirque Zuma Zuma's specialities — then prepare to have your socks knocked off.

Don't forget to leave plenty of room in your mind to take in the human pyramids, hoop divers, kora players, and limbo, Zulu, and South African Gumboot dancers, because in this circus there's not even a moment's letup in the action. Before you've had a chance to recover from the lion dance, you find yourself agog at the Tanzanian acrobats performing incredible feats of balance. 

Then there's the comedians, the Rolla Bolla act, the South African singers, the Icarian games, the pole acts, or any of the other Cirque Zuma Zuma delights. Needless to say, this circus is always a huge hit with kids, but it's truly an all-ages event, tapping into the sense of wonder that lives within all of us.
