The Ethiopian Circus
The Ethiopian Circus is one of the most amazing and unique Circus groups in Australia. The group was originally established in Ethiopia and very soon achieved world wide fame. Over a short period it became a model for many other circus and performance groups throughout the world. The Ethiopian Circus has traveled throughout many countries and continents over the past 3 years. Here in Australia, the Ethiopian Circus has performed all the big festivals including the Adelaide Festival and Melbourne International Festival, as well as being a major contributor to many multicultural community festivals and events. The Ethiopian Circus is unique in the way it combines Circus acrobatics and performance tricks with exciting African dance and music in brilliant full color costume. The band adapts itself to a wide variety of venue spaces and performance contexts, presenting its own unique style of Ethiopian music and traditional dance.
