Pole, Cyr & Acrobatics

When Tarik Usman fills out the line “street name” on an address sheet, he writes “we don't have”. Because where it comes from - in Addis Ababa, the fast, lively capital of Ethiopia - the streets do not have a name everywhere. Tarik comes from far away and happily mixes the essence of his culture with the elements of classical acrobatics - on the ground as well as on the pole and in the head-high Cyr ring. He took the opportunity to professionalize his talent at a Chinese circus school. He then gained his first stage experience on cruise ships before he was discovered by the creatives of the GOP theaters.
