Hola amigos!
Andrea, Ed, Michael and Nicolas at Salida Productions have been officially invited by Circolombia and Circo Para Todos (Circus for Everyone) to create a new interpretation of Shakespeare's Macbeth with young performers from Cali, Colombia culminating in three performances at the Teatro La Mascara in Cali. This is an amazing opportunity to create a production over two months rehearsal with Internationally recognised circus performers from deprived backgrounds in Cali. Our ultimate aim is to achieve a full UK and International production in 2012/2013 of Macbeth with an international cast of circus performers from Colombia to build on the success of our International show Romeo and Juliet with Astillero Tango Orchestra from Buenos Aires.
Circo para Todos is the first professional circus school in the world specifically dedicated to street children (ages 14 – 18) and ‘youth at risk’ in a range of circus skills. Their work provides children with a profession, a support structure and an alternative to joining street gangs. Their first show URBAN is currently touring the world and played the Roundhouse and Edinburgh Festivals in the UK in 2011. (The video is from URBAN at the Roundhouse).
All our expenses are covered in Cali however we have to find our flights and most importantly covering the students food and travel at the school during the rehearsal period. Each students travel and food is £2 per day for food and transport so we are asking for £5000 in total.
You can SPONSOR a student for part/whole of the project and in return we will send you photos and video updates of ours and the students progress so you be involved with us throughout the duration and then on into it's further life.
Muchas Gracias for taking to time to look at this page and for your support.
