Australian Circus Spectacular at Carnival City

Produced by the makers of the acclaimed Great Moscow Circus and Great Euro Circus in Australia, Aussie: The Australian Circus Spectacular has been touring the country since February and will end its run with shows in the Big Top from May 26 to 29.

This is a modern, human circus, making no use of animals, which blends stunning cirque style acrobatics, hilarious slapstick comedy and extreme, high-octane stunts.

The executive producer of the show is Cape Town-born Sebastian Cassie.

This is the first time Aussie has visited foreign soil, and it promises to leave audiences in awe with the cast performing unbelievable feats.

Highlights of the show include one of the world’s few surviving human cannonball acts performed by an expert stuntman, Luiz Daza, who has literally flown over audiences seven days a week during the sell-out run of the Great Euro Circus in Australia.

Audiences will also marvel at the dizzying Globe of Death act which features up to five motorbike riders circling a daring dancer with Mad Max style bravado before the sphere splits in half.

Thrilling freestyle motor cross riders then jump the Globe of Death in a rush that will excite any petrol-head.

Between these breathtaking and death-defying stunts, a troupe of talented and equally daring Aussies will perform feats of human endurance, skill and strength to mesmerise audiences from start to finish.

“Aussie: The Australian Circus Spectacular is world-class family entertainment that will have South Africans on the edge of their seats.

“Carnival City looks forward to hosting the show for the final leg of its South African tour,” says Michelle Smith, Carnival City marketing manager.
