the turning points in your code. this class since last began in this place is, is that circus academy in cape town, south africa, today is training day. it looks at list, but you kobus has to be quietly focused all the time. once a clap you do or once and once it gets injured, if it's the difficult to go back to it because the 1st thing that's going to be in your mind is that full is going to happen again. or that club is going to hit me again. my middle name is danger. a. normally, if i fall as a stand up and say yes, let's go again. the phone going, meeting failure with a sense of humor. with clubs or bulls, you kobus is training 5 to 6 times per week for the stage partner jason, the

u. k. this has come a long way. the 29 year old is one of the main perform is it's exec circus. clown, acrobat juggler. covose's repertoire is wide off to the break back to full focus in 10 weeks. one of the most important events in south africa will take place the national festival in the condo, kobus and his colleagues will perform the latest stage program until then, old tricks and stunts have to be on points. this up is not only a circus society, but also a training center. the academy in the cape town district of woodstock office, a free education for young people. brett van rent book found zips up in 1995 together with his wife lawrence. both a former circus artists we believe that any kid and matter, what's it back on,

if they've given the opportunity in life and they've passionate about what they, they do, any child can make it to. and a lot of kids, you know, have talent and skills. often lift beyond and zip said, you know, we kind of provide that platform to give children that maybe don't have as much as others. the platform to do something with a life. you kind of us who everyone calls trump. he was one of these children touring with the zips up. so it goes to came around the world in the last years even performed in front of tennessee to start roads, et cetera, and direct the bama at the white house. however, his road to success was rocking. as a teenager, you kobus would live on the straits of pa, a sub this cape town. he was addicted to substances such as man jackson mess, which of highly dangerous drugs. kobus was

a rough bottom. this cellphone picture is the only one catch it from those times. a trip to the past, only a few 100 meters away from the academy. this is the place where he would live. jacobus is joining zips up at the age of 16. with the help of an outrage program from the straits to the stage. so how did he manage to do that? i went to the mall for myself that didn't think of going back to the ag's was things that was the middle of that. that didn't come close to my head. and some of those gave me a taste that gave me a bite of the apple. and i told myself, i want one more of this apple. and today i've got so much more of that apple. a weekend with the circus people instead of staying at home. you could just jason and coach. i then want to leave the city is friend, jason is a passionate angler. while you kobus is still learning, maybe he's lucky today,

the people tend to take him the so you can this, this trip to the same means a lot. it means to have the feeling of the normal life. you don't have to stress about the other ways. just assume and hopefully that is applied and indeed you kobus has got something on level

the and then try again from the bridge. since almost 8 years you kobus and jason aren't experience team. we know how each other works. i know i feel it. i know which way you goes, eat those which way i go. like so it's nice to be able to work with someone like that. we spend so much time with each other. i feel that it's like, it's impossible not to become friends. they didn't catch a fish today, but they've enjoyed a brief moment of a the only 2 weeks left until the festival performance. last rehearsals at the zips that done, the atmosphere is 10. the a few of us injured you. kobus felt his wrist when he tried to lift. jason

wasn't strong enough in the zip. and then we stopped. so now and then a bit of pain. but it's workable because it's hot on himself. big knows the pain and participates in all the run through almost every one of the circus has experienced the rough sides of life. and there is no coincidence in the topics of the performances always being about. it's essential matters the, the jeep so inside trying to find the festival that's closer and like the weather, the moods are also some of the o. u. curtis feels pain in his whole body. the result of too much training and

emotional tension, a mess up should help him most pain or confident what back up last sleeping upside down too much passes also pulling to the back. that's quite a lot. so basically this is an issue it's use and abuse. so it's just a few available. the note there are lots of muscle, but they also really tied to 45 minute treatment works its magic they have a lift and quite tied them out for the sleeping to. so good going from i think is about open. you could this needs to get fit again because

time slots on the one week later talking day at the zip stuff done the tomorrow morning. you've kobus and the performance drive summit, candid but boston trailer. it's located a 1000 kilometers north cape town, quicker. but from the box, the hello friends, good wishes are necessary for the group doesn't know what's ahead of them. the festival time after 2, you breaks the national festival takes place. once again, in the condo,

the audience is excited for great an acrobatics. the main while back stage, the mood of the group is bad. due to an accident of one of the members at the last rehearsal. he come to form a shock to everyone. however, they're all doing their best to focus. now it's time to be professional adjusted to the new situation, to believe in their own, calla and strikes, to give 100 percent. so the injured friend and group member read the

i'm doing, i'm doing one of these x that i want to use. so we, i'm quite so, but notice us the best but the only way i can say it's, i'll just explain why the injury is also excited. slowly the room fills with paper. and the cutting goes on the the

kobus gave everything to now, yes, to improvise raises that the, the, what the, the gauge and the audience does it. all the artist don't want to take all the credit for themselves and heading straight towards the engine to the middle. in the middle of the heavy bunch, a police pull your color. this is well aware that within this group form a homeless child has found themselves a real family cooling down single pole temperatures are rising rapidly in the city states. while the
