CIRQUE BERSERK! SOUTHEND CAST
The Lucius Team The astonishing Lucius Team presents a petrol-fuelled hair-raiser: The motorcycle Globe of Death - live on stage for the first time in the UK. Hold your breath and raise the roof as up to 5 bikers ride upside down in the globe at speeds of up to 60mph. The louder you scream, the faster they go! The Timbuktu Tumblers Taking acrobatic art from the streets of Africa to a whole new level, The Timbuktu Tumblers present an incredible display of pyramids, jumping through hoops and flaming limbo poles, set to blow you away with their energy and skill. Bolas Argentinas Most famously used by the gauchos (Argentinian cowboys), Gabriel and Germaine make the tradition throwing weapons “bolas” their own in a dangerous display of daring and talent. Do not try this at home! Elberel Mongolian Elberel is the most remarkable archer you'll ever see. Not only does she shoot an arrow with perfect aim, she does so with her feet while performing a handstand!
