French circus spectacular for Durban
Alliance Française presents Cirquons Flex Company at the Durban University of Technology, Courtyard Theatre.
RETURNING to Durban to inject theatre and circus audiences with another dose of their fantastic contemporary circus show, the French Reunion Cirquons Flex begins their national tour at the Courtyard Theatre in Durban for one night only on Thursday 15 September at 7pm.
The duo who presented the whimsical story Points De Suspension last year, brings an exciting fresh new production La Pli I Donn. The Reunionese Company has included two talents to make this year’s show an international collaboration. Joining them are acrobats Maheriniaina Pierre Ranaivoson of Chapitô from Madagascar and Zip Zap Circus’ Lizo James from Cape Town.
The principal performers from Cirquons Flex are both of French origin; Virginie Le Flaouter trained at the National Circus School of Montreal, and Vincent Maillot, a self-taught artist.
The show builds on the experience and encounters brought about during Cirquons Flex's travels and residencies in India, Madagascar and South Africa over the past two years.
This is the third time in recent years that Durban will get to witness an utterly superb French act, having been dazzled by the aerial brilliance of Les Studios de Cirque troupe four years ago around the City Hall, and Points De Suspension last year.
Tickets are R50 per person. For advance booking, contact the Alliance Française on 031 312 9582 or purchase tickets at the door while stocks last.
