Acrobatic fans' treat

'MALO': MUSICAL PRODUCTION UNDER WAY AT CIRK IN RANDBURG

- Hein Kaiser

Most South African performers would give both their left feet to star in a Janice Honeyman production. A brand new cast of young and energetic performers are lined up to do exactly that.

It's a new, acrobatic and original musical production called Malo that opened on 3 May at the CIRK theatre at Northcliff's Cresta Shopping Centre in Randburg. Carmen Jooste stars in the show alongside a troupe of energetic talent.

The story takes place in a circus. But not just any circus. It's a tired old European-style big top. It's the tale of Malo the Clown and his devotion to Melodia Luna, the celestial Moon-Maiden. She descends to earth to help the circus troupe reclaim its sparkle. It's a song and dance and acrobatics of note, all in an intimate theatre setting.
