Cirque do Soleil has been a world wide phenomenon for many years now. They've performed all over the world and they are finally coming to South Africa. So don't miss this opportunity to see something spectacular.
With a cast of 50 high-caliber artists hailing from 20 different countries, Saltimbanco is their signature show they are bringing to South Africa. Featuring breathtaking acrobatics and seemingly impossible balancing, jumping and spinning during acts such as the Chinese Poles or the Russian Swing to the gravity-defying Bungees and Trapeze, the crowd pleasing Juggling and Acrobatic Bicycle, to the celebrated and very unique Clowns. Full of colour, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family to enjoy.
Cirque Du Soleil will be in Johannesburg, at the Coca Cola Dome, from Wednesday 9th March to Sunday the 13th March and tickets are already available through Computickets.

Tickets cost from R272 to R476.

Permanent Error: A solo exhibition by Pieter Hugo
Brodie/Stevenson is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new work by Pieter Hugo.
For the past year Hugo has been photographing the people and landscape of an expansive dump of obsolete technology in Ghana. The area, on the outskirts of a slum known as Agbogbloshie, is referred to by local inhabitants as Sodom and Gomorrah, a vivid acknowledgment of the profound inhumanity of the place. When Hugo asked the inhabitants what they called the pit where the burning takes place, they repeatedly responded: 'For this place, we have no name'.
Their response is a reminder of the alien circumstances that are imposed on marginal communities of the world by the West's obsession with consumption and obsolesce. This wasteland, where people and cattle live on mountains of motherboards, monitors and discarded hard drives, is far removed from the benefits accorded by the unrelenting advances of technology.
The Exhibition will be taking place in Braamfontein, south of Rosebank a short drive from the area of the Johannesburg Guesthouses, so if you have a chance to pop down there, it should be well worth the visit.
The exhibition opens on Thursday 4 November, 6:30-9pm. The exhibition closes on 15 December 2010.
Gallery Times:
Monday to Friday: 9am to 5pm
Saturday: 10am to 1pm.
Cost: Free
