Urban is a portrait of the life of urban young people in Cali, incorporating both joy and violence, where dance and music are the safety valves of existence. It features performers of the Colombian national circus school Circo Para Todos: An inner-city initiative that gives under-privileged young people the opportunity to train in a circus academy and work internationally.
A true narrative based on the lives of the young cast; telling the world what its like in their reality, through their eyes, ears, and voices. They wrote the songs and sing their lives while performing incredible feats of circus acts.
Originally developed in 2010 at the Roundhouse in London.
