Circus Europa, May 2022 show: Incredible feats in Hamburg, Germany!

Incredible feats at Circus Europa, May 2022 show in Hamburg, Germany! But note that I have filmed everything that was on the programme.

Note that the mentioned programme wasn’t exactly what I saw. There may have been a rota around artists and types of performances displayed. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed it, and so did the families with their children! Circus Europa is suitable for all age groups.

Now, let me share with you the acts I watch. For some acts, I only have made video snippets.

This first snippet video from the act by Ivan Radev, the juggler from Bulgaria:

Juggling is one of the classics of the circus, but this number will captivate you from the very first second. Look forward to flying footballs and juggling with balances of the new kind.

Then, we moved to an aerial act with this full thick red rope act:

Followed by this snippet video of the hand-balancing act by Bryan from Guatemala that you can find under the usernames  @bryanvulcan_fitness on Instagram and @bryanvulcan on Tiktok:

Then came this full silk duet act by Daria and Olga from Russia:

Last, but not least, came this full flying pole act by Bryan from Guatemala, the same person who did the hand-balancing act:

This is a whole new kind of artistry: aerial acrobatics paired with the classic pole.

And the final full act I filmed was the wheel of death act by two Colombians that you can find on Instagram under the username @theflyersvalencia. They are also on Facebook.

These two daring Colombians use an 8-meter-long wheel, on which they jump rope and do somersaults on the outside of the rotating wheel. Thrills are guaranteed here!

There were  also other shows like:

• a quick dress change act with Duo Free Life from Ukraine, which you can find under the @duofreelife username on Instagram:

• a clown act with Tony Alexis
• and domestic animal acts with ponies, horses, dogs, and camels trained by Sandro Frank.

Diversity Crew – Limitless 4th UK/Ireland 2013 Tour in pictures and videos

For fans of Diversity Crew and hip hop styles dances or even acro balance, this is a post-event review in pictures and videos, you don’t want to miss out!

I have been lucky to be able to attend the Diversity Limitless show at the O2, Dublin, Ireland, last Saturday 30th November 2013.

First of all, to my amazement, the show wasn’t only about new style hip hop and the crew itself but gathered different dancers, gymnasts, magicians, and musicians.

I have taken some pictures and videos of the event as well as gathered information about the dancers, acrobats, and illusionist who took part in the event.

Now, let me do a brief presentation of the artists (with their pictures) who are not part of the Diversity Crew itself:

Antoine Marc was born in Martinique (French Caribbean Island) and started to dance ballet at 4 years of age at the Caribbean Ballet School of Betty Bylon. He has also been an aerialist and acrobat, working for international productions.

Ling started dancing in 2004 as a self-taught b-boy, becoming part of the dance group trinity warriors in 2008. He has also become a worldwide competitor.

Acropolis is composed of female and male international elite Great Britain medal-winning acrobats and gymnasts.

Boadicea dance company was brought together by leading female artist Rhimes Lecointe (street dance 3D and into the hoods) to be a kink in the realm hip hop and commercial dance.

Frazer ‘Freeze’ Bennett is a music producer, composer, and mashup artist from Bournemouth, UK, who fuses urban music with orchestral arrangements, funk, soul, hip hop, R’n’B, pop, dubstep and electronic music.

James Moore is a master illusionist doing all his tricks ‘live’  with no camera edits or special edits.

Cirkafrika – an African circus touring in France in February 2018

I have watched for the first time a few years ago this amazing  Cirkafrika, an African circus on a French channel.

First of all, I would like to share with you a snippet of their upcoming show as well as information about its storyline, artists, tour dates, etc…

What is Cirkafrika?

Cirkafrika is an African based circus employing 50 artists across Africa, namely:

• musicians,
• dancers,
• acrobats,
• contortionists,
• diabolos,
• jugglers,
• acrobatic balancers,
• tap-dancers,
• gumboots, hoops, bouncing balls artists,
• acrobats,
• foot jugglers.

They mainly tour in France. Similarly to Le Cirque du Soleil’s concept, this circus doesn’t make use of animals.

Now, what is the current show’s theme?

This year, the show tells the story of a small gifted monkey going for an adventurous trip to the vast plains of China. He meets many monsters ready to eat him to obtain 10 000 life years. But it’s  without counting on the superpowers of the small animal, at times funny, at times powerful and at times crafty. The monkeys’ king is the widely known story told to Chinese children.

Cirkafrika is currently touring in main cities in France from 3rd to 11th February 2018. You can watch a video teaser for this year’s show here:
