Performing Artists
Mona Circo
A unicycle and a whip tag along with Mona in this journey of laughter and amazement, of skill and clumsiness.
A body that speaks expressing everything, hushing the unconscious delusions of the mind.
A crack of the whip stops the world and, for a moment, everything ceases.
Transforming the ideas in your mind, she will captivate us with her sense of humour and her dexterity.

However, his range of performances doesn’t stop at the street often taking his solo shows to the stage for corporate, festival and cabaret entertainment..
