Kenya Safari Acrobats Bring Their High-Flying Show to Edmonds Tonight

Experience a whirlwind of electrifying stunts, rich culture and heart-pounding music as Edmonds Center for the Arts welcomes the Kenya Safari Acrobats today at 7:30 p.m.

The show is called "Lost In Africa."

From the group's Web site:

The story begins with a tourist visiting Africa. After being separated from his group, he stumbles upon an abandoned native village. One morning, he explores the various items left behind and begins to play the drums, which startles the natives.

The tourist has nothing to defend himself with and pushes the blame to … the audience1. Audience members will be worked into the plot and brought to stage throughout the show in this exciting and entertaining African romp. Danger will always be prevalent as the natives figure out different ways to finish the tourist off.

Each major production number is tied together with the tourist buying time creating games with the items the natives are using to get kill him (instead of trying to hang him with a rope, he teaches them to jump rope). The more the natives are entertained, the longer he has to live, and hopefully win them over so he may survive.

The Kenya Safari Acrobats perform tonight at 7:30 at the Edmonds Center for the Arts, 410 Fourth Ave. N, Edmonds. Tickets are available online at www.ec4arts.org or by phone at (425) 275-9595. Ticket prices range from $35-$40, $15 for youth.
