The Kenya Safari Acrobats are devoted to the promotion of the cultural traditions embodied in the art of African acrobatics. Long before humanity had set foot in Europe, African culture was thriving on the traditions embodied in the art of African acrobatics. Many forms of acrobatics derive their origins from Kenya. The troupe members of the Kenya Safari Acrobats learned acrobatics as children on the beaches of Kenya, as a means to break free from an impoverished country. Now they serve as artistic ambassadors for their country as they travel the globe entertaining and inspiring audiences of all ages. Tickets will be available on February 9th at all UD box offices and Ticketmaster outlets.
