International Circus Extravaganza Debuts In Tauranga, Taranaki And The Hawke's Bay
An international, high-profile circus spectacle will be coming to NZ this year for the first time, taking to the stage in three provincial cities. Cirque Bon Bon, which has been likened to Cirque du Soleil, is set to delight the crowds in Taranaki, Tauranga, and Hawke's Bay thanks to a collaboration between three leading Arts Festivals - Reimagine Festival (Taranaki), Tauranga Arts Festival, and Hawke's Bay Arts Festival. The just-announced NZ visit, in October, will be hot on the heels of sold-out tours in Australia, where this talented circus troupe thrilled multi-generational audiences. Tauranga Arts Festival General Manager Sarah Cotter says there's great excitement wrapped around this festival offering as Cirque Bon Bon is a high-octane international act featuring a fusion of circus, dance and comedy. Plus, it's suitable for all ages. 'Get your tickets now and start getting excited as Cirque Bon Bon will burst on the stage to deliver an extravaganza of mind-bending contortion, sensational dancers, gravity-defying acrobatic stunts and more than a few laughs. Tauranga, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay - and visitors to those areas - should prepare to be wowed,' Sarah enthuses. Cirque Bon Bon has been likened to Cirque du Soleil for good reason. It has been created by former Cirque du Soleil director Ash Jacks and choreographer Julieann Nugent. In the words of Ash: 'We've used every last trick in the book to make this show something you just can't look away from.' The excited Tauranga, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay arts festival organisers say in the past people from the provinces had travelled to the bigger cities to see circus spectacles. Now the magic is coming to their cities. Cirque Bon Bon will be hosted by the 'outrageously funny' Mario, Queen of the Circus. Under his watch, daring skill will blend with striking style in a fast-paced celebration of what's been described as 'a celebration of beauty and bravery with a killer soundtrack and breathtaking visuals'. Cirque Bon Bon will feature first in Taranaki on October 9-12 at TSB Showplace. Tickets are available at: and Eventfinda. This will be followed by the Hawke's Bay on October 17,18 at Toi Toi: Hawke's Bay Arts & Events Centre, with tickets available from or via EventFinda. Four performances will be held in Tauranga from October 23-25. Tickets can be bought via Tauranga Art Festival's site or Eventfinda
