MOYA tells the real-life story of a young boy growing up on the streets of Cape Town who finds his way to the Zip Zap Circus School where a new beginning is about to unfold.

Not only does he discover his passion for performing but also, and maybe more surprisingly, he is accepted into the Zip Zap family without prejudice.

Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s dream of a rainbow nation, we follow a young man’s journey from unbelievably rough beginnings to 15 years later, touring the world playing the lead role of his own life story. Most of the cast have also been on this journey from the beginning.

Mixing acrobatics with African dance and contemporary circus, MOYA embraces the unbreakable spirit of our youth. A uniquely South African production which tells a universal story.
