This fourteen strong group of Columbian acrobats bring the excitement and flavour of nightlife in Bogota to the South Bank with their spectacular tricks in this fast moving extravaganza of human skill played out to a rap/reggae influenced sound track. It is quite simply breathtaking!
THERE are so many exciting aspects to Circolombia which is headlining at the Underbelly Festival on London’s Southbank that makes this evening out a remarkable experience through and through. There is variety and surprise – all garnished with immense talent and obvious dedication. The show moves seamlessly from one jaw dropping moment to the next, building up to a breathtaking climax as the cast mix song, dance, acrobatics and even romance into an hour of enrapture. It is captivating.
The levels of skill on display make it almost unfair to single out any performance for special mention, however for me highlights included Cristian Rincon and Laura Martinez who perform a duo routine while Rincon is suspended by only the back of his head and Julia Aja, a human pendulum, performs outstanding feats of courage while exhibiting nerves of steel.
You will gasp in awe as these exotic performers take you beyond the conceivable.
Plays at the Underbelly Festival until July 14.
