Balkanology - Metamorphosis 2010

A Cape Town based collective presenting the madness of Balkan and Gypsy music to Africa


Its time for one of life’s miracles to take place.
It’s time for a radical rebirth.
It’s time to witness the birth of a new Balkanology.

Balkanology - Metamorphosis  2010 presents Maoriginal, The Nomadic Orchestra, Hopa Banda and Toby 2 Shoes, as well as astounding performances by Those Filth Carnies

The Transmogrification of all you thought you knew into a deliciously devilish circus carnival. Believe it! Witness it! Live it! An unnaturally natural alchemy.

A Balkan beat-bash transmuted into a new dimension; a carousal of biblical proportions and mystery. Join us and reinvent the meaning of revelry.

For one show only!

See matter change before your eyes, watch death become life, gasp as pigs faeces transform into glittering pearls, hustling pick pockets mutate into skilled magicians, fortune tellers become virtuoso flying carpet pilots, beautiful gypsy girls transubstantiate into bearded ladies and behold a chicken that learns to fly!

What an opportunity. What a party.

A Balkan beat-bash transmuted into a new dimension; a carousal of biblical proportions and mystery. Join Balkanology and reinvent the meaning of revelry.

Metamorphosis Game:
Dare to take part… one chance only… kiss Veronica the piglet and if you are the chosen one, watch her become the princess of your dreams.

Let the circus of life brass you into a heavenly crescendo.
