Zip Zap Circus, South Africa’s beloved troupe of entertainers, continues its exciting season with a revamped MOYA, an award-winning circus extravaganza that took the world by storm last year. The pulsating acrobatic performance based on the award-winning Acrobatic Art Film, returns to Johannesburg from 31 August to 10 September.
MOYA
After staging sold-out performances in Cape Town, Mkhanda (at the National Arts Festival) and Johannesburg last year, as well as a 3-month tour of France and Switzerland, MOYA is set to yet again wow audiences.
Recently nominated for two Naledi Theatre Awards, MOYA is traveling to Johannesburg for a return run at The Teatro at Montecasino from 31 August to 10 September 2023. This follows a season in Cape Town at Artscape Opera House from 3 to 6 August 2023.
MOYA is an infusion of contemporary and traditional circus, telling true-to-life Zip Zap stories. The show features a display of aerial skills, a masterclass in juggling as well as a thrilling acrobatic wheel routine.
The show has been revamped to include new elements of comedy and acrobatics to entertain, dance sequences to get your heart thumping, a brand-new original score written by Josh Hawks (former bass player of Freshlyground), and a story to touch your soul.
MOYA is more than entertainment as it celebrates both unity and diversity through its unique and artistic interpretation.
Brent van Rensburg, Artistic Director and co-founder of Zip Zap Circus shared his excitement, “It is heart-warming to see that in our 31st anniversary year, both Cape Town and Johannesburg audiences continue to welcome Zip Zap into their hearts, asking for more. We are elated to stage a revamped version of MOYA in 2023, which is guaranteed to take the entire family on a journey not to be missed.”
