Moroccan-themed circus combines acrobatics, dance and music in a stunning visual world created by artist Hassan Hajjaj
This is not your typical circus.
There’s a new acrobatic show happening in Abu Dhabi that will feature an otherworldly collection of gravity-defying performances.
FIQ! – Groupe Acrobatique de Tanger is not your average circus performance as it combines acrobatics, dance, and music and features an alchemy of colours in a stunning visual world created by Moroccan artist Hassan Hajjaj.
The show will be on 28-29 April, 7.30pm, and 30 April, 3pm, at The Red Theater, The Arts Centre, NYU Abu Dhabi. Tickets are priced at AED 52.5.
Set to sounds by DJ Dino and fiery rap, FIQ! brings together 15 diversely skilled performers in a whirlwind of traditional and modern floor acrobatics, dance, sketches, headspins, breakdancing, and even taekwondo and freestyle football.
FIQ! is told through the perspectives of lively Moroccan youth through jaw-dropping acrobatic acts, stunts, and dazzling choreography.
And there’s more: Groupe Acrobatique de Tanger, the team behind the electrifying acrobatic show, will host a special workshop where you can learn the techniques from an ancient folk art that includes circular acrobatics, tumbling, and building human pyramids.
The workshop will be held at NYU Abu Dhabi’s The Arts Centre on 24 April, from 5pm.
Don’t miss your chance to witness and learn more about this unique fusion of art and vitality with an authentic Moroccan touch.
