"You will be amazed. The performance you will see on the stage can be called neither a traditional circus nor a dancing show nor a juggling, nor a theater play nor a musical. Argolla the 5th Element takes a bit of everything. It challenges the concept of traditional circus and proves that human body is capable of more than you think."
