CIRCUS group Chameleon is gearing up to amaze Ilonggo audiences with their acrobatic performances on May 18 at Robinsons Place Iloilo.
Chameleon is an association involved in the rehabilitation of children who are victims of abuse in Western Visayas.
The circus show is Chameleon’s yearly event to showcase Cirquera de Chameleon’s talents; a group of young girls taught to perform circus by French artists from the French National Circus Show (ENACR).
The partnership between Chameleon and ENACR has produced extensive training in honing the young girls’ skills and talents on circus tricks such as juggling, clown, rola bola, unicycle and balancing wire.
ENACR circus teachers Luc Richard and Paul Mattioni and students Tiago, Lucie, Patrick and Anai will perform together with the girls to bring in world-class circus show that will surely thrill the audience.
Chameleon Association is currently located in Passi City where the girls are being housed. The association started 16 years ago by French National – Laurence Ligier – who devoted her time unselfishly in helping the Filipino children.
Chameleon now plays an important part in protecting children as it denounces child abuse and raises awareness on Child Rights in Western Visayas./PN
