Africa! Africa!

Circus show by dream artist André Heller

Africa! Africa! was a unique show alive with the power of Africa. Circus acts from all countries on the continent were brought together by the Austrian artist André Heller. The show, which originated in Germany, was put on in a spectacular African circus tent, located at the Johan Cruijff AreanA for three months. More than 250,000 tickets were sold. This made it one of the most successful shows in 2007. Blue in Green was responsible for production, sponsorship, and media.

Colourful Africa

“THIS SPARKLING CIRCUS SHOW DOES NOT DWELL ON THE TRAGIC SIDE OF AFRICA, BUT SHOWS THAT NOT ALL IS LOST ON A CONTINENT BURSTING WITH SO MUCH ENERGY”
