Moya

Zip Zap Circus
04.01.2026

Aerial straps, trapeze, Cyr wheel, juggling and somersaults: ten artists from South Africa let loose in a display of liberating, acrobatic and colourful élan. Moya celebrates the footwork of two dances full of life and hope, performed in protest against apartheid: gumboot, inherited from the slaves who beat their rubber boots in the mines, and pantsula, a kind of house dance born in the black ghettos of Johannesburg. On a world tour, the Zip Zap company puts its boots back on and twirls, with an insane energy, between contemporary circus and South African melting pot.
