This year don’t miss the famous fun-filled Kawa Circus performing their astounding acrobatics, dancing and traditional music from Rajasthan, India. Kawa Music, founded by Hameed Khan in 2000 has been dedicated to promote the music and all other kinds of performing arts of the North of India, in particular from Rajasthan.

In 2007 Kawa Music teamed up Alessandro Maria Torboli, Hervé Vital and Hameed Khan “Kawa” to create Kawa Circus – a special creation that celebrates the street performers of India, arguably the bearers of one of the most ancient mystical and magical circuses for centuries. Featured artists include a delightful dancer, Supki, three vibrant street performers, an acrobat, Viram, an acrobat and pole-vaulter, Raju, an acrobat and funambulist, Jagpal, and a musician.

Kawa Circus tells the story of an itinerant troupe of artists from a Rajasthani circus arriving with all their material and happiness in rhythms and music. The audience immediately shares the intimacy of this company, with the tyrannical director, the mesmerizing traditional dancer, the joyful acrobat and funambulist film star, the naïve but concerned acrobat and pole-vaulter and the musician always laughing at his colleagues. The show starts with several breathless tricks constantly disturbed by tiffs and other personal matters, working the anger of the director off on his artists, who finally have the last word. A fantastic experience for all the family.
