Africa! Africa! – A Magic Circus Event
The German weekly magazine “Der Spiegel” celebrates “Africa! Africa!,” the new show by the Viennese poet and “Vorträumer” André Heller as a “kingdom of clowns and paradise of joie de vivre.”
One is immediately enchanted by the ambiance: tent palaces reminiscent of Moorish designs, imaginatively painted interior walls, floors covered with Berber carpets, an African café, and an African marketplace are all part of the backdrop. In this setting, André Heller presents Africa as a continent of immeasurable wealth of cultural traditions and creativity with élan, energy, and an exuberant joie de vivre.
Dancers, artists, musicians, singers, acrobats, jugglers, tightrope walkers, and contortionists perform exciting tricks and spectacular acrobatics. All together, more than a hundred African artists are participating in the show. To find them, André Heller and his team traveled for almost two years on the African continent between Mali and Morocco, Egypt and South Africa.
