URBAN

Circolombia’s highly acclaimed show URBAN will thrill audiences with a unique blend of electrifying circus, South American hip-hop and reggaeton dance.

Set against the backdrop of the Colombian city Cali, the show features graduates of the Colombian National circus school Circo Para Todos. A tale of confrontation and redemption, of gangs and individual freedom, of poetics and cruelty, URBAN is the voice of these young people. They tell the world what it’s like in their reality, through their hearts minds and experiences on the streets of Cali and most of all, through their bodies.

“There is a visceral rawness that makes Circolombia so appealing” (London Evening Standard).

Orginally commissioned by the Roundhouse London as part of CircusFest
