PROFILEAudiences and critics agree—Cirque Zuma Zuma is unlike anything they have ever seen before. Many describe it as an African-style Cirque du Soleil; such is the standard of the performers and the quality of the show’s live musical score. Like Cirque, our talent pool of 120 loyal performers has a family business kind of feel.

Cirque Zuma Zuma packs every show with non-stop action and incredible features that keep audiences on the edges of their seats.

The show includes performances of all different types of African culture, including:

• South African female vocalist• Limbo dance – How low can you go?!• Female dancers from Africa• South African gumboot dancers• Amazing pole acts• Zuma Zuma Acrobats• Chairs handstand balance from Tanzania• Comedy• Gabonese tumblers• Contortionists from Ethiopia• The Africa Africa Lion dance• Percussionists from Zimbabwe• Club juggling• Ethiopian foot table juggling

The tradition of dance and acrobatics in Africa goes back more than 2 ,500 years. The members of African Acrobats International Academy uphold this centuries-old tradition through their training, artistry and touring performances. The organization was founded in East Africa as a private school with a goal of providing entertainment to the tourist hotels in Africa. Cirque Zuma Zuma was established about a decade later, in late 2005, as a touring arm of the company with a mission of teaching the world about African cultures. African Acrobats International now has training schools in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya and Las Vegas. Due to the physical demands, the stage careers of Cirque Zuma Zuma’s performers may not extend much beyond their 30th birthdays. The performers have toured the world, presenting more than 150 performances annually.

In addition to training performers, African Acrobats International is working to collect and publish a number of African opera scripts and historical texts as well as issuing DVDs and videos for education and promotion of the traditional arts of Africa.

The Friends of the MAC is a family of people who have decided that a world-class performing and visual arts center should reside in their community. Ticket sales only provide 42 percent of our $3 million operating budget. It is through the support of College of DuPage and through the generous gifts from patrons and local businesses that we can keep art in our gallery and on our stages.

Your gift to the MAC • Brings nationally and internationally renowned artists to our community • Supports our SchoolStage program that annually offers affordable arts experiences to thousands of school children • Provides students and community members the opportunity to interact with artists • Enhances the quality of life in our community

Without the generous support of the Friends of the MAC we would not be the cultural hub of DuPage County. We gratefully thank our friends and we invite others to join them.

For complete details, visit the MAC Ticket Offi ce or call the MAC at (630) 942-2263 or the College of DuPage Foundation at (630) 942-2466.

Arts Center EndowmentGifts of $5,000 or greater can be made to the Arts Center Endowment. Donations made to the MAC’s Endowment, our “savings account,” go into a principal secured, invested account that will provide ongoing support for arts programming for years to come. The McAninch Arts Center and the College of DuPage Foundation can also provide you with Planned Giving opportunities that include life income, special trusts and bequests.

For more information, please contact the MAC at (630) 942-2263 or the College of DuPage Foundation at (630) 942-2466.
