Every January something exciting
happens in New Zealand. For two weeks,
hundreds of acrobats, comedians, dancers and musicians
from all round the world come to perform in one of the
country’s main cities. They mostly perform in the streets.
Why? Because this is The World Buskers Festival.
A busker is anyone who performs an act for free in the street. But
people only give what they think the act was worth. And buskers don’t expect
more than a few coins from each person. The World Buskers Festival is a great
opportunity to see some of the world’s best street performers. Visitors can watch
magic acts in the streets and in the main square they can laugh at top comedy acts. In
the park, they can see acrobats performing incredible feats high up in the trees!
At night, performances continue to take place in the city’s art galleries and theatres.
When the festival began in 1994, only a few buskers came to the city, and
crowds were small. For the most popular acts, visitors need to arrive
early to get a good view. One act that always draws a big crowd is
New Zealand’s Fuse Circus, a team of some of the country’s best
circus performers. Together, they put on an incredible acrobatic
show! Another top act is a young comedian called Sam Wills.
There are also big audiences for Maui, a group who
perform traditional Maori dances. With over 500 different
performances taking place around the city, any visitor to
this fantastic, free festival, is sure to find something
they like!
