Zippos new show for 2012 comes to Brent Cross, combining the best of traditional and contemporary circus, bringing together performers from Africa, Argentina, France, Japan, the Ukraine, Brazil and the UK.
New performances in 2012 include:
- The Delbosq Clowns from France, Emil and Andrea.
- New routines for Yasmine Smart’s liberty and dressage horses, built around pulsating drum rhythms and modern rock anthems, with the beat of bolas eching the pounding of hooves in the sawdust.
- The Kenya Troupe of African hip-hop dancers, acrobats and tumblers, providing a touch of Swahili Nashati (strength) in their pyramid building and limbo.
- Anya, from the Ukraine, who juggles within a Perspex and steel triangle and with fire.
The Globe of Death motorbike display is also back by popular demand (see photo) to ensure that the final minutes of the show provide a last massive adrenaline rush!
