Circus Performers

This year, the Mela’s circus and street arts area will proudly present a continuing production by the Foundation for Indian Performing Arts entitled ‘Ramayana’ – an ancient Sanskrit epic. The performance is a daring and radical development for the company. Emerging out of a Cosmic Chorus, episodes from the Ramayana will be dramatically evoked. Dancing in their usual stunning style on stilts, the performers will also conjure up an arresting landscape of haunting music and vocal. For more information on the story of Ramayana click here.

Mela Circus will also feature performances from Sikh Sword Dancers and Chinese Dragon dancing.
