World-famous Circus Abyssinia returns by popular demand with a fantastical celebration of athleticism
and the power of speed inspired by Ethiopian runner Deratu Tulu, the first Black African woman to win
Olympic gold.
Watch in awe as a dazzling spectacle of high-flying acrobatics, hand balancing, and juggling (sometimes
with fire!) flashes before your eyes, backed by the beat of Ethiopian music. Witness the energy and
spectacle of the Olympic games, packed with extraordinary circus acts, and be amazed as the world of
triumph and virtuosity come to dynamic life!
