AUSSIE: The Australian Circus Spectacular - Cape Town Launch at The Table Bay Hotel

“AUSSIE is a story about dreaming big and living an even bigger life than the one in your dreams. It is about spreading hope, especially during a time when some may think there is little to be hopeful about.” “Each night, on centre stage through the incredibly inspiring and entertaining performances of our circus stars, audiences in South Africa will experience what can be achieved when you believe.

Someone who dreamed big and achieved even bigger, serving as an inspiration to young South African boys and girls.
