In the buzz of Cape Town, traditional gumboot dancers stomp their wellies to the ebullient beats of local pop music. Acrobats spring and soar through bustling township streets. A merchant juggles apples and an aerialist flies from the sheets of her washing line. Experience the big-hearted spirit of ubuntu with MOYA, a uniquely South African story, and come together for an invigorating circus extravaganza that shines with the vibrant humanity of the Rainbow Nation.
Prepare to be dazzled.

Things to Know
- The word “ubuntu,” sometimes translated as “I am because we are,” is a spirit of shared humanity—we are all connected. As a social circus, Zip Zap is an embodiment of that spirit, using arts education to build community and empower young people.
- Not only does MOYA feature show-stopping circus spectacles, but it also highlights traditional South African dance forms like gumboot and pantsula.
- Circus in the City is back! Join us on Sunday, April 27, at 12pm for the New Victory Family Benefit performance of MOYA with an afterparty at Dave & Buster’s.
