Fifteen years ago, the Moroccan Groupe Acrobatique de Tangier opened the very first Circusstad Festival. Now the renowned company returns with their spectacular new production: KA-IN. This acrobatic ballet is a special collaboration with the French director and choreographer Raphaëlle Boitel of Cie. L'Oublié(e), in which traditions and modernity meet in an impressive visual universe full of power and pure joie de vivre.

Groupe Acrobatique de Tangier builds on a centuries-old tradition of human pyramids and acrobatic stunts, originating from the nomadic Berber tribes. Where these techniques were once used to climb over the walls of their enemies, the company is now transforming them into spectacular contemporary art. Since their inception in 2003, they have combined this rich history with innovative, multidisciplinary creations and continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in acrobatics.

For KA-IN, the company invited Raphaëlle Boitel to direct. Mutual inspiration led them to an exciting encounter between theatrical worlds. Boitel's work is known for its refined mix of theatre, circus, dance, music and film. In KA-IN, the audience is immersed in a fascinating play of light and shadow.

With 13 talented acrobats and (break) dancers, Groupe Acrobatique de Tanger brings a dazzling circus epic that will leave you breathless. KA-IN is an ode to youth, a celebration of brotherhood, and an explosion of energy, in which bodies seek out and push the boundaries of what is possible.

Expect spectacular acrobatics, impressive dancing and great music, an unforgettable experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
