Circus And Dance

Chinese pole acrobat and video artist, João Paulo dos Santos, and roller-skating musician, Guillaume Dutrieux will astound you with their duet of skills, producing remarkable circus artistry straight from their imagination. In their show “peut-être” (’maybe’), the two artists, João and Guillaume, play on our sense of space, creating an adventure involving sights and sounds that entice and challenge our concepts of above or below, horizontal and vertical, real and virtual. Blurring our perception, this electronically recorded spectacle will redefine the phrase “Things are not what they seem.” Gravity being inverted, performers multiplying on stage; every move is a feat that shouldn’t be missed. Dangerous yet tempting, O Ultimo Momento is not your typical circus show. It will take you to experience the incomparable intoxication of height and the excitement of falling. The manifestations of space and time will be reinvented through this dazzling trip through art in action. For ticket inquiries please contact Alliance at 895-7585.

Oliver’s Water Show of Switzerland

Oliver’s Water Show of Switzerland returns (until June 8) with a troop of talented divers performing outlandish aerial tricks. Highly trained acrobats jump down from a 25 meter platform into a small pool of water. Some of the other stunts include two divers jumping down together with their palms touching, but still hitting the water separately. Yet another performer dived down while on fire. There’s also a routine of clowns jumping down the platform and into the water below. Finally, the park will stage a Mother-Daughter Flores de Mayo this May 31.
