  THE BLACK EAGLES   SKATE NAKED  
 
SATURDAY 1 MAY
ST GEORGES MARKET 3PM


The Black Eagles, from Tanzania, come to Belfast with their high octane, high energy acrobatics – African style. From the music through to their movement, there’s something infectious about the joy these guys have for their art.
This presentation really is breathtaking and should come with a public health warning – it’s exhausting just watching them. Prepare for a totally uplifting experience.
 
SATURDAY 1 MAY CORNMARKET 1PM,
COTTONCOURT 5PM; SUNDAY 2 MAY
CORNMARKET 1PM, CORNMARKET 4PM;
MONDAY 3 MAY CORNMARKET 10AM &
MIDDAY


Imagine two respectable business men transmogrifying into Jackie Chans dressed as Sumo wrestlers who come from deep in the heart of Wurzel country. Done that? Good. Now you might be prepared for the craziness that is Skate Naked.

Skate Naked have been performing their highly acclaimed show for ten years, dazzling audiences with mind-bending displays of hilarious and dangerous stunts produced in an atmosphere of high skill and low comedy. Acrobatics, fire stunts, whip tricks and general lunacy a speciality.
