Cirque infernal direct from Europe will be dazzling audiences on the Mandela Stage at the Joburg Theatre from September 6th to September 23rd 2018. Cirque infernal gives nothing but the best entertainment with astonishing and death defying acts. Created by Danny Varanne, who was part of Le Grand cirque adrenaline which was presented at the Joburg Theatre in 2012, headlined the motorbike act called The Globe Of Death which left audiences stunned when three bikers were riding inside the Globe Of Steel at speeds of up to 65 km/h all while trying to avoid collision!
2012 was a great year for Danny as he also two awards at the prestigious Festival International Du Cirque De Monte-Carlo and an official Guinness World Record! "I am extremely excited to be returning to Joburg" says Danny. "I have developed my appreciation for gothic and circus stories into Cirque Infernal, and I can't wait for South African audiences to witness this breathtaking production. The show features two world firsts and thrilling jaw droppers, as well as moments of pure poetry"
cirque Infernal features some of the world’s top circus performers:
Trapeze artists Celeste Bliss (USA) and François Colarusso (France/Canada).
Wilson Stey (France) is the funambulist (tightrope walking). At only 23 years old, Stey is originally from Germany. His ancestors have been walking the tightrope since the Middle Ages.
Pro Sufi dancer Aurelia Baque is a native of Toulouse, France. She spent half a year in an Indian Ashram, learning and practising the daily the art of Sufi dancing.
The (almost) fully tattooed Stephane Bucheton from France is a former FMX Biker. Tired of crashing, he befriended the Infernal Varanne Riders who taught him to ride the wall of death.
Italian Bruno Alliot always said that he would rather ride a bike than walk! If he could, he would ride through the intricacies of life. Alliot, whose father was also a wall of death biker, grew up with Danny’s family.
Married on stage and in life, Scottish couple Rachel and Charlie Atlas push the boundaries of the knife throwing act.
The beautiful Irina Naumenko studied contortion and other art forms at the world famous Circus School of Moscow. She participated in the Monte Carlo circus festival and toured the world with Cirque du Soleil.
Romanian brothers Valentin and Catalin Badea are the Strong Men of the show.
