It’s 1964. The world’s superpowers are caught in the heat of the space race, but they’ve been joined by an unlikely contender… Zambia.

Edward Mukuka Nkoloso, visionary and risk-taker, set out to send Africa’s first astronauts into the cosmos. His crew? A young girl, two cats, and a missionary. His rocket? Aluminium, ambition, and sheer audacity.

Wake The Beast and Circus Zambia launch you into a story of dreamers, daredevils, and impossible possibilities. This astonishing all-ages show comes alive with  breathtaking acrobatics, theatrical spectacle, and irresistible heart.

It’s a true story of hope, courage, and the kind of audacity that can take you all the way to the moon… or at least make you believe you could.
