First recognized on “America’s Got Talent,” Cirque Zuma Zuma is a vibrant and exuberant group that blends a medley of nonstop acrobatic action, upbeat rhythm and African culture into a five-star show set for Monday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m. in the Seretean Concert Hall at Oklahoma State University.

After sold out seasons in Europe and Australia, Cirque Zuma Zuma offers Oklahoma its special combination of culture and cirque with never-before-seen acts that include dance, music, acrobatics, tumbling, juggling and contortionism. Every second of the nonstop theatrical cirque performance will keep viewers enthralled and captivated by the mysticism of Africa and its rituals.

“We are very excited to host Cirque Zuma Zuma this year at OSU. The group’s performance will give Stillwater a chance to see a very unique streamline of talent that is truly indescribable,” said Brandon Mitts, manager of OSU Allied Arts & Special Events. “Each piece is rooted in the cultural history of Africa, and performed by individuals trained in Tanzania, Ethiopia or Kenya at academies dedicated to carrying on the traditions of African dance and acrobatics, which originated more than 2,500 years ago.”
