A new international cirque production, Enchanted, has opened in Green Point, Cape Town this September. Produced and directed by Sebastian Cassie, it’s presented by Showcasting. READ OUR REVIEW: https://weekendspecial.co.za/nouveau-cirque-enchanted/
Enchanted runs for a limited season into mid October 2017 and is billed “a thrilling cirque production with mesmerising acts that have never been seen before in South Africa, performed in a beautiful 450 seater spiegeltent shipped directly from Belgium and constructed by renowned Belgian tent master Rik Klessens. Elements include an interactive zone, VIP bars, an oyster and bubbly booth, an accessory store, making this a truly decadent night out in the Mother City.”
Disco roller skating, knife throwing and more
Hosted by top South African comedienne Mel Jones and Piky Pokus from Argentina, acts include crossbow contortionist and silk artist Orissa Kelly, cloud swing and hoop artist Tom McKinnon and laser and bubble magic man Thomas Favaro, a disco inspired roller skating pair, a heart stopping knife throwing duo.
After the two-hour show, the resident DJ takes over and the audience can party with the cast late into the night.
“Enchanted brings the best of the spiegeltent shows that have preceded it, with a solid emphasis on artistry. All of the artists are international, world-class performers, and the show has an engaging narrative running throughout in the style of nouveau-cirque productions.”
Bringing it home
Showcasting is headed up by Sebastian Cassie and Michael Carrigan. Having been involved in some of Australasia’s most successful circus shows, musical theatre and stage productions, the team have set up a local office in South Africa. Says Sebastian, who hails from Cape Town and grew up in New Zealand: “Having the opportunity to bring this enchanting and unique production to my home country is a dream fulfilled.”
