Touring Street Circus Egypt

Mixing acrobats, street theater, aerials, juggling and live music, CIRC’US brings 20 artists coming from France, Egypt and Germany to work together for the first time in October 2016: gathered in a 10 day residency in Port-Saïd, they put up a show that will tour from the 8th until the 18th of October, passing through 10 different cities.
