But, of course, it's not. The cast rehearsed for weeks to get every move and beat perfect. In this video, Marco tells you more about how the performance came about. Watch and learn...

Theaterkrant"Met Hiphop Circus voegt ISH een energieke smeltkroesproductie toe aan het repertoire."
8WEEKLYHiphop Circus van ISH is veel meer dan circus alleen. Het is een visueel aantrekkelijke, virtuoze show waarin dans, acrobatiek en muziek samensmelten tot een wervelend spektakel.
