Back in the 1930s, the world descended into The Great Depression. It was a time of great hardship, doom, and gloom, and it was the ‘Big Top’ traveling circus that buoyed people’s spirits. Circus was a source of escapism, affordable family entertainment, and brought much-needed joy.
Fast forward to 2021 and history repeats, as the world recovers from another pandemic and subsequent global depression. Reflective of the 30’s, may the magic of circus yet again provide the antidote for gloomy times.
Slapstick is a traditional circus show with an invigorating 1930’s twist, peppered with side-splitting comedy. This fun-filled, family show will transport audiences back to the era of Swing, Gypsy Jazz, The Three Stooges, Buster Keaton, and Charlie Chaplin. A celebration of the origination of Slapstick comedy, when ‘a pie in the face’ was popularized and exuberant colours were high fashion.
Slapstick will take you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane, leave you in awe with breath-taking aerial displays, roaring with laughter at the comedic acrobatics and allow you to pack up your troubles – even just for a while. Slapstick will be performed by the super-talented youth from the Zapper’s Programme, the same troupe who performed at the international tennis Match in Africa #6 in 2020.
“It is a nostalgic, light-hearted and invigorating show that showcases the origins of Slapstick comedy. Guaranteed to lift your spirits, enjoy a good belly laugh and is ideal for the whole family” comments Brent van Rensburg, Zip Zap’s show director and Co-founder.
